{"title":"VII. Abstract of a register of the barometer, thermometer, and rain, at Lyndon, in Rutland, for the year 1796","authors":"T. Barker","doi":"10.1098/rstl.1798.0009","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1098/rstl.1798.0009","url":null,"abstract":"The year began with a remarkably open winter, sometimes quite warm and pleasant, and several times thunder. It was showery at first, then dry and fine; but the end of January and beginning of February were wet, yet still open and mild, and more dry afterward; but colder, and inclined to frost, the end of February, and in March, the middle of which was again mild and fine, and not windy, but frosty toward the end. The last days of March, and beginning of April, were dry and pleasant; a good seed time, and calm; but rain was wanted toward the end, which came plentifully the end of April, and beginning of May. The season in general cool, and the latter half more dry; too much so in the south of England, for grass and hay were scarce there; but, in this country, both grass and corn came on well, and continued to do so all June, which was of a moderate heat, with a mixture of wet and dry; frequent but moderate winds, and calm at the end. There was plenty of hay this year; but, through a very wet and windy July, a good deal of it was not well got. The crops of grain were almost all good, and the moist July made the beans and pease remarkably so. The harvest, though threatening at first, was in general very well got; the weather being chiefly fair, and rather hot, with some rain at times, kept the grass in a growing state, of which there was plenty left upon the ground against winter. The autumn was in general very fine and pleasant; for the most part fair, with few frosty mornings, till near the end of November; when a severer season began, and continued very hard frost the first third of December; then an imperfect break for some days, but not so as to take the frost all away. It returned again as hard as before, and continued another third of the month, till the two last days; when a thaw came on, with very warm and remarkably wet air, though no great quantity of rain fell. It was agreed every where, that December 24, at night, was much the coldest time this winter; in some places the thermometer was down below o, at 4 or 8; but I did not happen to look at it just at that time, so that I never saw it so low as 14.","PeriodicalId":20034,"journal":{"name":"Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London","volume":"26 1","pages":"130 - 132"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83330105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dr. Halley's method of computing the ratio of the diameter of the circle to its circumference was considered by himself, and other learned mathematicians, as the easiest the problem admits of. And although, in the course of a century, much easier methods have been discovered, still a celebrated mathematician of our own times has expressed an opinion, that no other aliquot part of the circumference of a circle can be so easily computed by means of its tangent as that which was chosen by Dr. Halley, viz. the arch of 30 degrees. This opinion, whether it be just or not, I shall not now inquire; my present design being to show, how the series by which Dr. Halley computed the ratio of the diameter to the circumference of the circle, may be transformed into others of swifter convergency, and which, on account of the successive powers of 1/10 which occur in them, admit of an easy summation. 2. This transformation is obtained by means of different forms in which the fluents of some fluxions may be expressed. To proceed with the greater clearness, I will here set down the fluxion in a general form, and its fluent, in the two series which are used in the following particular instance, and maybe applied with advantage in similar cases.","PeriodicalId":20034,"journal":{"name":"Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London","volume":"22 1","pages":"217 - 222"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85324793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
