THE PHILOSOPHY OF STORMS. 



BY JAMES P. ESPY, A. M., 

 Member of the American Philosophical Society, &c. &c 



Conclusion of the Report of the Academy of Sciences, (Paris,) on the labors of J. P. Espy 



concerning Tornadoes, Sfc. 



Committee — Messrs. Arago, Pouillet, Babinet Reporter. 



11 Mr. Espy's communication contains a great number of well-observed and well-described 

 facts. His theory, in the present state of science, alone accounts for the phenomena; 

 and, when completed, as Mr. Espy intends, by the study of the action of electricity when 

 it intervenes, will leave nothing to be desired. In a word, for physical geography, agri- 

 culture, navigation, and meteorology, it gives us new explanations, indications useful for 

 ulterior researches, and redresses many accredited errors."
