Remarks. 
1. Though you can foretel it will rain on the Mor-, 
row, it is impoffible to tell where that Rain will fall 3 
for as every Shower has Space, i. e . Length and 
Breadth, if it rains in that particular Field, yet it may 
be fair in the next adjoining : And if in Harveft, or 
on a Journey, you proclaim it will rain on the Mor- 
row, fome will, if it does not fall on their Land, or 
on his Coat, be fo filly as to fay the Predi&ion was 
falfe* 
2. The Barometer does only (hew the Preffure or 
Weight of the Atnlofphere, and Inclination of the 
Air, in and about the Country where it ftands, and 
not always in a particular Spot 5 fo that in foretelling of 
great Rains, People are apt to fay the Indication is 
falfe, becaufe they have not feen or heard of it 3 when 
perhaps in a Day or two you will hear, that it did then 
fall three, four, or may be 10 Miles off. For though 
the Rain Ihould be over us when the Glafs fell, yet 
the Wind, which bloweth where it lifteth, carries 
the Clouds and Rain with it. 
3. It is very hard to diftinguifh on the Mercury's 
falling, whether it will be Rain or high Winds, they 
equally caufing the Mercury to fubfide. 
4. Of all thofe who guefs at the Weather from the 
Whims of their own Brains, it is obfervable, it is not 
true one time in Ten, nor do any two of them agree 
about it. 
But from Obfervations on this Barometer , it will 
fcldom fail you once in 20.5 fo it is above 100 to 1 
preferable.
