An Account of the Barometer, and the State of the Weather, at Dublin, from the 7 of March 1752, to the 28 of February 1753, by James Simon, Esquire, F. R. S. and Secretary of the Incorporated Society at Dublin: Communicated by Mr. Henry Baker, F. R. S.\n\nDear Sir,\n\nDublin, Sept. 4, 1753.\n\nI NOW send you my journal of the weather for the last year, from the 7 of March, 1752, to the 28 of February, 1753. You will, perhaps, find it too minute; but whatever fault you find in it shall be rectified for the future, if you are so kind as to let me know, how I should proceed to render it useful. Deal with me as a friend; inform me of my mistakes; and if you do not think it deserves to be laid before the Royal Society, I beg you will not let it be seen; if otherwise, you have my leave to lay it before them. My chief ambition would be to deserve their approbation and esteem: of this you may assure them, and of my sincere respect and regard.\n\nI have observed, that the friction is so great in the common barometer, by the smallness of the tube, that I wrote to London for a larger tube. It is something more than one quarter of an inch clear in the bore; and it took me two pounds and a quarter of clean purified mercury to fill it. The cistern, which receives the mercury, is pretty large, with a wide mouth; and is cover'd with a silk gauze, besides the usual\nMy Barometer was finished the 6th of March. The Tube is a quarter of an inch clear in the bore, and took two pounds and a quarter of clean mercury to fill it.\n\n| April | Morning | Noon | Evening |\n|-------|---------|------|---------|\n| 1 |
