Outlines Of A Mechanical Theory Of Storms PDF Download

Excerpt from Outlines of a Mechanical Theory of Storms Containing the True Law of Lunar Influence In extending the theory to other phenomena, he has only fearlessly followed out the same principles which have conducted him to a' knowledge of a disturbing cause, to which atmospheric storms owe their origin, and in doing so he has conferred with no one. For whatever of merit or of blame may therefore justly attach to these views, he alone is responsible. If he has charged the scientific with inconsistency, or with sometimes forgetting that the truth of their unneces sarily abstruse investigations depends on the truth of the data, he at least is conscientious for he is too well aware that to provoke an unfavorable verdict by con tending against such fearful Odds, is not the surest way to either wealth or fame, or even to an acknowledgment of at least the mite, which he cannot but feel that he has contributed to the treasury of knowledge. That the scientific organizations of the day do tend to curb the aberrations of a fanciful philosophy, cannot be denied.
