Originally published in 1892, this early works contains the Factors necessary to produce rain, Man's attempt to rival them, and a few general remarks on our weather system, based on facts from the weather map. It is a fascinating look at the subject with much of the information still useful and practical today. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
