LETTER XXXIV. 



TO HIS NEPHEW 



A Meteorological Diary for December 1782, kept in a village 50 miles 

 S.W. of London, in a woodland hilly district, and up at the head of 

 rivulets that run into the Thames at Weybridge. The thermometer 

 hangs within an open staircase. 



Hares frequent the garden, and eat the celeri-tops, spinage, young cab- 

 bages, pinks, scabiouses, parsley, &c
