    PREFACE. Among all the Sciences, there is none which so frequently, or so generally obtrudes itself upon the attention of mankind, or is so often the subject ol conversation, as that of which we are about to treat. But though this be the case, there is no science which presents such a list of familiar phenomena, that have hitherto defied all attempts at explanation. In the following Treatise, a variety of new views and explanations of meteorological phenomena are ad- vanced; and it is principally on account of these, that this volume is printed. Besides the Treatise on the Causes and Principles of Meteorological Phenomena, two Essays are like- wise published. One of these contains a compila- tion of the more important facts and information, collected lrom various sources, relative to Marsh Fevers, a knowledge of which may be useful, in preserving the lives of many who have occasion to • • visit our colonial settlements in the East or West
