to fome known Meafure } which only two of the 
curious Obfervers enabled me to do j but I found that 
a Matter fo perplext and difficult, as not to anfwer the 
great Trouble of it, efpecially confidering that thefe 
Tables exhibit Obfervations made in different and 
diftantParts, viz .Italy, Germany ^England, and Swe- 
den, by which an Eftimate may be, in fome meafure, 
made of the Temperature of thofe different Climates 
of the World. In order to which, I muff repeat what 
I mentioned in fome preceding Year:, that in the 
Royal Society's Glaffes, the Point of Extream Heat 
is 5 Degrees, above o, that Temperature is 45 Degrees 
below o, and Freezing at Degrees. And if we 
caft our Eye upon the feveral Months, particularly 
thofe of Winter, efpecially if we confider that which 
I have remark’d in 17x7, from Dr. Cyril , concerning 
the Freezing-Point at Naples to be at $ 5 Degrees, 
which is at London at 6? Degrees, and at Chrijliana 
and Bengal probably as different alio. I fay, con* 
fidering thefe Things, it is furprizing that the Heat 
and Cold of thofe diftant Places, is not as different as 
their Northerly and Southerly Situations. But at 
Lunden , I was furprized to find the Thermometer 
much lower in the warmer Months than at Upfale , 
or any other of the Svoedifh places, hill I found that 
In all thofe Months, they had continual Cold and 
Rain, when the other places mention little but Fair, 
or Cloudy, and but little Rain or Cold. And this 
minds me of a former Obfervation, fhat Cold is the 
Parent of Wet , efpecially in Summer. 
As to the Winds and Weather , fo many are the 
Places of Obfervation, and fo many and fo various 
the Obfervations, that its next to impoffible to give 
i a toie*
