Book Description
Excerpt from The Philosophy of Storms I say necessary, for, if my doctrine is true, it is infinitely useful: and therefore it became my duty, for the sake of mankind, to use every means in my power to obtain for it a fair and impartial examination, which it was obviously not likely to obtain, while it lay under the imputation of being rejected after examination by the scientific world. I hope, now, that so far as authority is concerned, I stand on at least as high ground as my opponents. Let the theory stand or fall according to its own merits.
