Transact. Editæ sunt. Sed quoniam Typographis ingratæ fuere, ideo uno vel alio modo compendiosius excusa sunt, usque ad Annum 1705. Et quandoquidem viris doctis & curiosis, tum indigenis, tum exteris, gratas fuisse comperit, & praecipue insignissimæ nostræ Societati Regiæ, ideo meum esse existimo pertexere quod exorsus sum. Et ut Doctis usu esse possint, & Typographis non graves, ideo quintum tantum diem cujusque mensis excerpti; quod commodum Anni dabit conspectum.\n\nNon\nNon multâ explicatione præter Titulum indigent hæ Tabulae, nisi in Columnis Ventorum & Nubium (in quibus usus sum Notis Anglicanis.) Quippe eorum varietas Romanis non innotuit.\n\nQuatuor Plagæ principales his literis notantur, viz. N. Septentrio: S. Meridies: E. Oriens: W. Occidens.\n\nPlagæ intermediæ harum literarum conjunctione denotantur. E.g. NW denotat ventum, quem Seneca vocat Corum, quem a Solstitiali occidente flare dicit. SW Africum, qui ab occidente hiberno flatus, ut Seneca. SBW denotat plagam illam quæ proximè juxta Meridiem sita est: SSW proximam huic: SWbS huic proximam, sive quæ sita est inter hanc & Africum: Et sic de cæteris.\n\nNotæ numerales Ventis adjectæ indicant Ventorum vim. Cyphra [O] notat Aeris tranquillitatem, sive nullum flare Ventum. [1] Ventum adeo languidum denotat, ut candelam accensam vix extinguere valeat. [2] fortioriæ [7,8 ad 12,15 vel 20] denotant Ventos violentos, & magis bacchantes.\n\nQuoad Columnam Thermometri, notandum est, Gelatiohis gradum esse circa 85. Sed Pruina eveniet circa 90, vel paulo supra.\n\nIn Columnâ Pluviarum, aliquando notavi Pluvia pondus, quod in diebus pluviosis (in Tabula notatis) decidit. Et in fine cujusque Mensis Summa Pluviae totalis illius mensis notatur. In toto hoc Anno 84,62 Librae Pluviae deciderunt, istarum Librarum quas Angli Troy-weight vocant.\n\nInfundibulum Pluviam recipiens est circulare, cujus Diameter 12 pollicibus Anglicanis æqualis est.\n\nDenique hæ Observationes ter de die facta fuere, nisi absens, vel aliter occupatus esset. Horæ observandi, tum ante, tum post Meridiem, in summitate cujusque mensis notantur.\n\nCirca finem Februarii, & per maximam Martii partem, Nostrates Dyspnea, & Tussi ubique fere affecti sunt. Judi-\ncent Medici, an hæc proveniant à Ventis orientalibus, uni-\ncum frigidâ & humidâ cœli temperie, quod tunc frigidum,\nnon autem glelosum fuisset, hæ breviores, & praecipue\nmaiores mæ Tabulae ostendunt.\n\nApr. 1. Mane Pariæ ab aliis visa sunt; sed mihi non-\ncontigit videre.\n\nJunius mensis adeo fervidus & siccus fuit ut Aquæ defe-\ncerint, Fruges languerint, Gramen arefactum fuerit. Dro-\nsomelia quoque frequentia fuere. Et Secale ubique uredine\ntaetum.\n\nAug. 11. Ventus adeo bacchatus est, ut perniciosissimus\narborum fructibus, eorumque emptoribus fuerit.\n\nEt quamvis pluvia copiosa successit, tamen Stagna arida\nfuere in Septembre, & magna Graminis inopia.\n\nDec. 19.

Secr.\n\nIn November 1705, I was call'd to deliver a Woman 30 Years old, who had 4 Days laboured in vain to bring forth her first Child: The Head, being too big for the Passage, stuck immoveable at the Os pubis; so that I could neither fasten a Crochet, nor draw it out by a Cupping-Glass fixt to the Scalp with an Air Pump.\n\nIn this Extremity I directed my Son to open the Childs Head, and take out all the Brains, with so much of the Scull as he could; and then by a Cord fastned round the Neck with a Nooze, to pull it out, which was soon and easily done.\n\nThe Child was Corrupted and stunk much, so did the Lochia, which flowed three Weeks; soon after they ceased, the Menstrua appeared, and the Woman went abroad: About six Weeks after her Delivery, she was seized with violent Convulsions, and Hysterick Fits, which lasted near three Days; when a painful Tumor arose in the left side of her Belly, which ended in an Eruption of white thick Matter near a Pint, with small Knobs of a Substance like the Yolk of boiled Eggs: All Symptoms immediately vanished, only she complained of the great Hollowness where the Tumor had been.", "source": "olmocr", "added": "2026-01-12", "created": "2026-01-12", "metadata": { "Source-File": "/home/jic823/projects/def-jic823/royalsociety/pdfs/102702.pdf", "olmocr-version": "0.3.4", "pdf-total-pages": 11, "total-input-tokens": 16512, "total-output-tokens": 6941, "total-fallback-pages": 0 }, "attributes": { "pdf_page_numbers": [ [ 0, 0, 1 ], [ 0, 942, 2 ], [ 942, 2725, 3 ], [ 2725, 3796, 4 ], [ 3796, 5311, 5 ], [ 5311, 6917, 6 ], [ 6917, 8543, 7 ], [ 8543, 10325, 8 ], [ 10325, 12045, 9 ], [ 12045, 13520, 10 ], [ 13520, 15124, 11 ] ], "primary_language": [ "en", "la", "la", "la", "la", "la", "la", "la", "la", "la", "en" ], "is_rotation_valid": [ true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true ], "rotation_correction": [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ], "is_table": [ false, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, false, false, false ], "is_diagram": [ false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false ] }, "jstor_metadata": { "identifier": "jstor-102702", "title": "Tabula Exhibens Coelitempestates, & Mutationes, ter Unoquoque Die: Item Plagam Ventorum, & Nubium; Altitudinem Mercurii in Barometro, & Spirituum in Thermometro; & Denique Pluviae Quantitatem, Quae Quibusdam Diebus, & Unoquoque Mense, per Infundibulum 12 Pollices Latum, apud Upminster in Comitatu Essexiae Decidebat Anno 1705.
