Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from By Land and Sky
Meanwhile, both in America and on the Continent large sums are annually forthcoming from public sources for the systematic exploration of the air and thus this country, which needs more than any other the amplest data for the benefit of its meteorological departments, is now in this particular far behind other nations.
It is hoped that the practical work which is treated of in this little volume and which, whether by land or sky, has often been carried out by private aid, may serve to stimulate an interest among individuals and the public generally in a fascinating and all-im portant scientific pursuit.
My thanks are specially due for the very generous assistance rendered me by the management of the Times, the Daily Chronicle and the Daily Mail, as also for the kindly notices so often given in the columns of the London and provincial press.
