48 Mr. Barker's Register, &c. 



the month. The autumn was fine, with few frosty mornings ; 

 yet one or two severe nights in October, before the green -house 

 plants were housed, killed many of them, especially the Gera- 

 niums : but it was afterwards warm and wet again, and conti- 

 nued pretty fine, for the season, till the middle of December, 

 when, after some misty weather, followed by very severe frost 

 in the last week, it was exceedingly cold, and the thermometer 

 was one day down at 5^, which I never saw it at but once 

 before ; and the frost continued, though not so severe, till near 

 the middle of January, 1 799.
