I have not yet had leisure to compare the harometric and other 

 indications with the moon's declination, but I shortly intend to do so. 

 From present appearances I cannot help feeling- sanguine that the 

 moon's declination will he found to be the principal cause of the dif- 

 ferent atmospheric variations, exclusive, of course, of those which are 

 occasioned by the regular annual progress of the sun. However, 

 whether there be any thing of truth in these inferences, or whether 

 I have been misled by a series of chance co-incidences, time only can 

 determine. If those inferences are well founded, the years of drought 

 are past, and the years of plenteous rain approaching. By this test 

 let them be tried, for no one can desire a fairer.
