This treatise on meteorological instruments was first published in 1864 by the partnership of Henry Negretti and Joseph Zambra, meteorological instrument makers to Queen Victoria, and describes the method of construction, scientific principles and practical uses of barometers, thermometers, hygrometers, rain gauges, anemometers, electrometers, ozonometers and other meteorological instruments.
The instruments are fully described, with the help of nearly a hundred illustrations and 19 tables, and directions are given on how they should be used. The treatise is bound with an 8-page price list covering 185 instruments available from Negretti & Zambra establishments in 1864.
