By the early nineteenth century, meteorologists were equipped with plenty of useful devices: barometers, thermometers, hygrometers, and any number of variations thereon. But the nature of these instruments was not wholly understood. While it was possible to take accurate measurements with a barometer, what physical process made the mercury move? What exactly is atmospheric pressure? And how can one measure sunlight? Ranging from wild theories of gravity-resistant air particles to the latest experiments in altitude, chemist and physicist John Frederic Daniell (17901845) presents his answers in this collection of essays.

Daniell later became the first professor of chemistry at King's College, London, and foreign secretary of the Royal Society. Why does mercury move in a barometer? Why do plants require light? And did Pliny the Elder understand the theory behind atmospheric humidity better than the scientists of the early nineteenth century? This popular collection of essays, revised and published in 1827, tackles all these questions and more. This item is printed on demand.
