"Meteorological and Physical Tables," which was published 

 in 1852. A second edition was issued in 1857, a third in 

 1859, an d a fourth, prepared with the assistance of William

The demand for these valuable tables soon exhausted the 

 edition, and in 1890 Secretary Langley planned a new work 

 in three independent parts, " Meteorological Tables," " Geo-

 the first volume, " Meteorological Tables," was published in 

 1893 ; a second edition being required a year later. 



The second volume of the series, " Geographical Tables," 

 prepared by R. S. Woodward, was published in 1894; the 

 third volume, " Physical Tables," prepared by Thomas Gray, 

 was issued in 1897.
