Which is almost twice as much as at York Minster, which is 

 more than 2\ times higher, and almost 3 times greater than 

 at the Museum, which is about half as high. This difference 

 may be owing in some degree, to the different construction of the 

 gages, and some to the difference of temperature of the two places* 

 but our observations are not sufficiently perfect, to warrant us in 

 saying that we have arrived at a correct conclusion. It will, how- 

 ever, show that by proper attention, much on this subject may yet 

 be gleaned from the hidden arcana of Nature, and we hope to be 

 able at some future time, to present more enlarged and correct 

 results.
