Book Description
Excerpt from The Meteorology of Jamaica IN ancient times Meteorology included all the appearances of the heavens, whether astronomical or atmospheric. But as knowledge increased, these appearances, or phenomena, were gradually referred to either one or the other of the two divisions. Astronomy became an exact science - that is to say, all the observed motions were found to be subject to strict laws and rigorous computation; but the laws which regulate the ever-varying atmospheric motions and changes are so highly complicated, that, even at the present time, Meteorology can hardly be termed a science.
