At LONDON. 



I FIND by the metereological obfervations made at the houfe 

 of the Royal Society that the barometer there alfo was 30 

 inches or above during the greateft part of November 1788,

 ftorm at E. S. E. ; the greateft was January the 5th, fix days

 in London until the following day. It grew ftormy at the fame 

 time as with us, and from the fame points. The N. and E. 

 winds and dry weather began in London fix or feven days
