A60470	A compleat discourse of the nature, use, and right managing of that wonderful instrument, the baroscope, or, Quick-silver weather-glass in IV parts / by John Smith ... ; to which is added, the true equation of natural days, drawn up for the use of the gentry, in order to their more true adjusting, and right managing of pendulum clocks and watches.	Smith, John, fl. 1673-1680.	1688 (1688)	Wing S4102; ESTC R558	21,992	104

notwithstanding_o the_o quicksilver_n do_v still_o stand_v as_o high_a as_o fair._n the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v if_o it_o rise_v from_o much_o rain_n to_o rain_n for_o its_o rise_n do_v now_o betoken_v fair_a wether_n notwithstanding_o it_o be_v still_o as_o low_o as_o the_o word_n rain_n therefore_o take_v this_o for_o a_o general_a rule_n that_o if_o the_o mercury_n move_v upward_o from_o changeable_a or_o fall_v from_o changeable_a downward_o then_o will_v the_o wether_n be_v for_o most_o part_n such_o as_o these_o upper_a or_o low_a word_n denote_v but_o if_o it_o either_o rise_v towards_o changeable_n or_o fall_v downward_o to_o it_o when_o it_o be_v already_o above_o it_o than_o the_o word_n signify_v nothing_o if_o wet_a and_o rainy_n wether_n come_v present_o upon_o the_o mercury_n fall_v and_o the_o mercury_n do_v at_o that_o time_n fall_v but_o a_o little_a then_o expect_v not_o much_o wet_a at_o that_o time_n for_o the_o rain_n will_v not_o then_o hold_v long_o but_o if_o the_o quicksilver_n fall_v very_o much_o in_o a_o little_a time_n or_o if_o when_o it_o begin_v to_o sink_v it_o continue_v to_o do_v so_o for_o two_o or_o three_o day_n together_o before_o the_o rain_n come_v then_o expect_v very_o much_o wet_a wether_n after_o it_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o fair_a wether_n follow_v immediate_o upon_o the_o mercury_n rise_n and_o the_o rise_n be_v also_o but_o a_o little_a then_o expect_v not_o much_o fair_a wether_n at_o that_o time_n but_o if_o it_o rise_v very_o much_o on_o a_o sudden_a or_o if_o when_o it_o begin_v to_o rise_v it_o continue_v to_o do_v so_o for_o two_o or_o three_o day_n together_o before_o the_o fair_a wether_n come_v and_o the_o rain_n cease_v then_o expect_v much_o fair_a weather_n to_o follow_v but_o in_o all_o these_o forego_v case_n the_o wind_n must_v well_o be_v note_v for_o unless_o you_o do_v that_o you_o may_v chance_v to_o be_v sometime_o mistake_v for_o though_o the_o former_a rule_n be_v for_o the_o most_o true_a and_o certain_a and_o seldom_o fail_v yet_o sometime_o they_o be_v find_v so_o to_o do_v but_o when_o this_o do_v chance_n to_o happen_v you_o will_v for_o the_o most_o part_n find_v it_o to_o do_v so_o at_o such_o time_n as_o the_o wind_n sit_v in_o such_o quarter_n who_o temper_n be_v contrary_a in_o nature_n to_o that_o wether_n which_o the_o glass_n predict_v for_o if_o the_o mercury_n fall_n which_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o wet_n yet_o if_o the_o wind_n at_o the_o same_o time_n do_v blow_n from_o the_o east_n or_o north_n it_o may_v still_o continue_v fair_a because_o these_o for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v dry_a wind_n and_o seldom_o produce_v rain_n for_o reason_n hereafter_o give_v on_o the_o contrary_a if_o the_o quicksilver_n rise_v which_o signify_v fair_a yet_o if_o the_o wind_n be_v then_o southerly_a it_o may_v chance_v to_o rain_v for_o all_o that_o for_o southerly_a windle_n be_v general_o moist_a and_o many_o time_n bring_v in_o gross_a vapour_n that_o be_v too_o heavy_a to_o be_v suspend_v by_o any_o weight_n of_o air_n which_o they_o produce_v but_o if_o the_o mercury_n fall_n and_o the_o wind_n be_v southerly_a it_o be_v a_o thousand_o to_o one_o but_o rain_n will_v follow_v and_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o the_o quicksilver_n rise_v and_o the_o wind_n be_v easterly_n it_o be_v a_o thousand_o to_o one_o but_o it_o will_v then_o be_v fair_a wether_n for_o in_o these_o circumstance_n i_o have_v seldom_o or_o never_o find_v the_o glass_n to_o fail_v let_v the_o wind_n therefore_o be_v note_v well_o in_o every_o case_n if_o the_o mercury_n be_v very_o high_a in_o the_o summertime_n when_o it_o be_v hot_a wether_n and_o do_v of_o a_o sudden_a fall_n down_o a_o considerable_a distance_n then_o expect_v thunder_n or_o

but_o when_o the_o mercury_n in_o a_o settle_a frost_n sink_v down_o sudden_o five_o or_o six_o division_n on_o the_o register_n it_o be_v then_o a_o certain_a sign_n of_o a_o thaw_v and_o the_o

than_o you_o may_v certain_o expect_v snow_n to_o follow_v if_o the_o mercury_n rise_v and_o fall_v but_o a_o little_a at_o a_o time_n and_o it_o be_v very_o unsettled_a its_o motion_n it_o than_o

of_o mercury_n be_v at_o this_o season_n a_o certain_a sign_n of_o frost_n it_o follow_v that_o gold_n will_v undoubted_o attend_v it_o note_v that_o the_o mercury_n be_v ever_o low_a of_o all_o in_o

of_o the_o air_n upon_o the_o stagnant_a mercury_n in_o the_o cistern_n that_o do_v buoy_v up_o that_o in_o the_o tube_n to_o its_o usual_a hight_n but_o in_o regard_n it_o be_v hard_a for_o some_o to_o conceive_v the_o manner_n how_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o demonstrate_v it_o in_o a_o cyphon-tube_n which_o for_o this_o purpose_n be_v much_o more_o proper_a than_o a_o common_a weatherglass_n take_v then_o a_o glass_n tube_n or_o pipe_n about_o four_o foot_n long_o seal_v it_o close_o at_o one_o end_v and_o let_v about_o a_o foot_n of_o the_o other_o end_v be_v turn_v up_o cyphonlike_a in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o fish-hook_n fill_v the_o long_a leg_n of_o this_o tube_n with_o quicksilver_n cleanse_v it_o from_o air_n and_o then_o raise_v it_o upright_o upon_o which_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o quicksilver_n will_v sink_v down_o in_o the_o long_a leg_n and_o rise_v up_o in_o the_o short_a one_o till_o the_o two_o mercurial_a surface_n be_v equal_o distant_a with_o that_o of_o the_o tube_n and_o cistern_n in_o the_o common_a weatherglass_n now_o the_o reason_n of_o its_o be_v thus_o suspend_v in_o the_o long_a leg_n do_v proceed_v from_o the_o air_n pressure_n at_o the_o open_a end_n of_o the_o short_a one_o for_o suppose_v that_o a_o cylinder_n or_o pillar_n of_o air_n of_o the_o bigness_n of_o the_o boar_n of_o the_o tube_n be_v extend_v so_o high_a as_o to_o equal_v in_o weight_n a_o cylinder_n of_o quicksilver_n 29_o or_o 30_o inch_n high_a which_o some_o conclude_v to_o be_v near_o 45_o mile_n it_o follow_v that_o the_o weight_n of_o this_o pillar_n of_o air_n press_v in_o at_o the_o open_a end_n of_o the_o tube_n will_v balance_v or_o suspend_v that_o mercury_n that_o be_v just_a equal_a to_o itself_o in_o weight_n and_o from_o

contract_v it_o and_o more_o abundent_o increase_v its_o weight_n why_o the_o mercury_n fall_v low_a in_o great_a wind_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o may_v be_v for_o that_o these_o great_a storm_n force_v out_o violent_o that_o air_n that_o stagnat_n in_o those_o place_n in_o which_o they_o blow_v and_o that_o with_o so_o great_a a_o violence_n that_o the_o adjacent_a air_n can_v come_v in_o fast_o enough_o to_o supply_v the_o evacuation_n make_v by_o so_o great_a a_o current_n of_o wind_n beside_o which_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o horizontal_n motion_n of_o the_o wind_n be_v so_o violent_a may_v take_v off_o much_o of_o the_o perpendicular_a pressure_n of_o the_o air_n and_o that_o may_v suffer_v the_o quicksilver_n to_o sink_v down_o so_o very_o low_o the_o reason_n why_o it_o rain_n very_o seldom_o in_o great_a wind_n though_o the_o quicksilver_n be_v low_a this_o be_v because_o though_o the_o air_n be_v then_o too_o light_a to_o support_v almost_o any_o kind_n of_o vapour_n yet_o the_o agitation_n make_v by_o the_o wind_n do_v prevent_v their_o fall_n brickdust_n or_o sand_n in_o a_o viol_n of_o water_n sink_v when_o the_o liquor_n be_v at_o rest_n but_o when_o agitate_a by_o shake_v it_o will_v then_o swim_v so_o long_o as_o that_o motion_n continue_v so_o here_o the_o agitation_n of_o the_o air_n by_o strong_a wind_n keep_v those_o vapour_n from_o descend_v which_o otherwise_o will_v fall_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o air_n lightness_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o when_o there_o be_v rain_n in_o the_o air_n it_o general_o hold_v up_o till_o these_o wind_n cease_v and_o then_o it_o fall_v down_o why_o southern_a wind_n sometime_o produce_v rain_n though_o the_o quicksilver_n rise_v and_o northern_a or_o eastern_a fair_a though_o the_o quicksilver_n fall_v to_o understand_v this_o consider_v that_o watery_a particle_n be_v rarify_v by_o the_o diversity_n of_o the_o celestial_a influence_n into_o body_n of_o divers_a dimension_n and_o the_o more_o intense_a that_o heat_n be_v that_o rarefy_v by_o so_o much_o the_o large_a will_v those_o aquaous_a particle_n be_v this_o be_v plain_a in_o wet_a linen_n present_v

have_v it_o be_v hang_v up_o to_o dry_a in_o a_o less_o intense_a heat_n it_o will_v have_v become_v dry_a by_o a_o more_o minute_n and_o insensible_a evaporation_n now_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o what_o rain_n come_v to_o we_o from_o the_o south_n do_v arise_v in_o part_n more_o hot_a than_o we_o and_o by_o consequence_n be_v rarification_n of_o the_o large_a size_n and_o such_o as_o be_v too_o heavy_a to_o be_v suspend_v by_o that_o weight_n of_o air_n that_o be_v usual_o produce_v by_o wind_n from_o that_o quarter_n whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a those_o vapour_n that_o be_v raise_v

be_v that_o float_n in_o it_o why_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o sign_n of_o much_o fair_a wether_n to_o follow_v when_o it_o rain_v sometime_o after_o the_o quick_a silver_n rise_v before_o the_o fair_a
