The Complete Weather Guide: A Collection Of Practical Observations For Prognosticating The Weather, Drawn From Plants, Animals, Inanimate Bodies, And Also By Means Of Philosophical Instruments; Including The Shepherd Of Banbury' Rules, Explained On Philosophical Principles. With An Appendix Of — Joseph Taylor. This historical manual gathers long-standing, practical methods for predicting weather to aid agricultural planning. It presents three main parts: first, observations of the changes in weather drawn from appearances in nature—vegetables, animals, the earth, the seasons, and related phenomena; second, prognostications derived from philosophical instruments such as the barometer, hygrometer, rain gauge, and thermometer; and third, The Shepherd of Banbury’s Rules, organized by topic (sun, moon, stars, clouds, rain, wind, seasons). An extensive Appendix adds miscellaneous wind and storm observations, nautical notes from aquatic plants, and botanical indicators. The text underscores the value of sustained observation records for farming and reflects 18th?century attempts to systematize weather knowledge for practical use.
