To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Since then, many self-recording and Other instruments have been added, several being brought from Europe last year by the writer. All the elements observed, with the exception of the force of the wind, the kind of clouds and their direction of motion, are now recorded continuously, and with the exception of the New York Meteorological Observ- atory in Central Park, the writer believes this Observatory to bo the best equipped in the United States. The instrumental outfit is now as follows : Baro...meters. These are kept in the lower room of the tower, where the temperature is most uniform. The Observatory standard is a Hicks Fortin barometer, reading to .002 inch. Although verified at Kew Observatory, its connected readings, 8 THE BLUE HILL as determined indirectly, differ by — .013 inch from the Signal Office standards at Washington. A smaller Green barometer, which reads also to .002 inch, has been compared with those of the Signal Service at Washington and Boston. In reducing the pressure to sea-level, instead of applying a monthly constant, as was the practice of the Signal Service, the correction at Blue Hill is obtained from a table based on Laplace's formula, calcu- lated for a height of six hundred and forty feet, in which the temperature of the external air at the time of observation is one factor.
