Overview

Excerpt from Stirling Field Club (Now, the Stirling Natural History and Archaeological Society): Transactions, 1878-79 Looking around us, meteorology asks a share of our attention, and surely that is too much involved with our daily life and well-being to have long to wait for an answer. Such ought perhaps to be the case, but we fear that the most of what is known; at least recorded, is, that cold and heat, summer a'nd winter, seed time and harvest, follow in their season, but the why and the wherefore has seldom been thought of, or the way to find it enquired. Our cousins on the other side of the Atlantic are fast taking the wind out of our sails, as the sailors say, in this as in many other pursuits, and are sending as over a timely warning ahnost as to the day and the hour when we may look for a coming storm.
