By WILLIAM MORRIS DAVIS, Professor of Physical Geography in Harvard College. With maps and charts. 8vo. Cloth. xi + 355 pages. Mailing price, $2.70; for introduction, $2.50.
This work is believed to be very opportune, since no elementary work on the subject has been issued for over a quarter of a century. It represents the modern aspects of the science. It is adapted to the use of advanced students, and will meet the needs of members of the National and State Weather Services who wish to acquaint themselves with something more than methods of observation.
The essential theories of modern Meteorology are presented in such form that the student shall perceive their logical connection, and shall derive from their mastery something of the intellectual training that comes with the grasp of well-tested conclusions.
The charts of temperature, pressure, winds, etc., are reduced from the latest available sources, while the diagrams freely introduced through the text are for the most part new.
A.W. Greeley, retired Brigadier General U.S.A., and formerly
Chief of Signal Office, Washington:

Winslow Upton, Professor of Astronomy, Brown University:
"The best general book on the subject in our language."
Wm. B. Clark, Professor of Geology, Johns Hopkins University:
"An excellent book and of great value to the teacher of meteorology."
