Meteorological Ohfervatiom colkHed 

 by m • 



Th e following meteorological tables are 

 intended to fhew, at one view, the diffe- 

 rence of climate between Edinburgh and 

 the other places at which obfervations 

 have been made. It may be fuppofed 

 that this is notib very accurate as it would 

 have been, if the obfervations taken at 

 different places had been taken at 

 the fame times of the day ; but this will 

 occafion no great difference ; and it may 

 be afcertained by obfervations made with 

 regard to the difference of heat, at dif- 

 ferent times of the day, which are now 

 making here. 



The tables fufficiently fiiew, that, in 

 every climate where obfervations have 

 been made, the mean heat, height of the 

 barometer, &:c. of one year, compared 

 with thofe of others, differ but very littlej 

 and therefore, if obfervations were made 

 at different places for fome years toge- 

 ther, we might, from the mean heat, &c. 

 of feveral years, find a very exad mea- 

 furc by which we may compare different 

 plimates,
