Excerpt from Suggestions for a Course in Climatology in Correlation With Geography
When I was a school boy, five and forty years ago, one of my delights was an atlas of Physical Geography. It showed contours of land, depths of sea, ocean currents, prevailing winds, isotherms, rainfall for certain regions, the distribution of plants, animals, races of man, and many other interesting matters.
Mr. Whitehouse's little book of suggestions for a school course in Climatology reminds me of those bygone days, and I think how much original information upon the subjects has been collected and compiled in the last forty-live years. Responsible now for the production of many maps of climatological data, and cognisant of every stage in the process from the observer's instruments to the lithographer's stone, I sometimes ponder over the information which the editors of my physical atlas had to go upon when they made their maps.
