*** Dr. Phipson's work presents, amidst much which is of interest to the Scientist and the General Reader alike, a short résumé of his discovery of the origin of Atmospheric Oxygen, the existence of which he attributes wholly to the action of Solar Radiation upon vegetable life. The book will be found replete with much that is new, curious, and interesting, both in connection with Weather Lore, and with Scientific Meteorology.—Publisher's Note.
"The book should prove of interest to general readers, as well as to meteorologists and other students of science."—Nature.
