Written to represent an author of limited literary abilities, this presents the author's 'long count of the weather of Last Month' that was dictated to him from 'your Scitific Crospondent [...] after dinner'. The notes are somewhat confused and chaotic: for example, 'Cumuli and cirrhi gave themselves up to the full development of ozone; while Summer Meteoric Phosphorescent Trains met the Radiating Streamers within five minutes of each other'. |
