1744 Meteorology Banbury Rules of Weather Change Newtonian Philosophy Newton

 

A rare, 18^th-century book on the behavior of weather and weather patterns.

 

“The Shepherd’s Legacy” was first published in 1670. Although it is unsure who the shepherd of Branbury was, it is often assumed that it was the author himself, John Claridge. The OCLC repeating from the introduction of G.H.T. Kimble indicates that in the 1946 edition, the author refers to himself as John in the original edition. It is believed that in the present edition, additions have been made anonymously by John Campbell (ESTC T12185). Claridge talks about the benefits of understanding the weather and describes some of the tools that are used for that purpose in his introduction, including the value of observation.

 

This 1744 edition’s main purpose of his work is to share the rules that help predict the weather, such as, small and round clouds will yield fair weather for two or three days, or the chance of rain when the Moon is new.
