• We hope the meritorious example of our worthy and excellent friend 
the Minister of Clunie, who has for many years recorded with great accuracy 
the meteorological phenomena of his parish, and communicated accounts of 
them to the public, will not be lost on many of our clerical friends in different 
parts of the country. 
f From the beginning of the year 1809 to the end of the year 1820, the 
temperature was taken regularly at 9 o’clock a. m. and 1 1 o’clock r. m., and the 
pressure at 12 o’clock noon.
