The Recurring Monthly Periods and Periodic System of the Atmospheric Actions: With Evidences of the Transfer of Heat and Electricity, and General Observations on Meteorology (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Recurring Monthly Periods and Periodic System of the Atmospheric Actions: With Evidences of the Transfer of Heat and Electricity, and General Observations on Meteorology

The atmosphere is such a boundless field of research, and teems with such amazing diversity of matter, that a vast multitude of minds may expatiate on its attributes and explore its domains. There are depart ments requiring investigation, suited to almost any and every taste.

Any new thought may invite attention, and bring an accession of students to meteorology, and increase our knowledge of it.

I am disposed to consider the atmosphere in a more exalted point of view, and with higher attributes, than is usually conceded to it. I regard it as a primary organic compound, and having almost vital powers, and if not absolutely possessing life, yet being the breath of life.

It has all the chemical constituents or materials assigned to the organic compounds, as oxygen, nitrogen.
