Synopsis
The Philosophy Of The Weather: And A Guide To Its Changes by Thomas Belden Butler is a 1856 treatise that proposes a practical science of meteorology grounded in a magneto-electric theory of atmospheric processes. Butler argues against prevailing caloric models, contending that heat and moisture are distributed by a global atmospheric mechanism powered by magnetism and electricity, with heat supplied largely by the sun and ocean currents, and moisture moved by surface trades, counter-trades, and belts of tropical and extra-tropical rains. He develops a framework of trade winds, counter-trades, monsoons, and the Gulf Stream, and insists that terrestrial magnetism guides weather patterns more than mere thermal differences. The work fuses extensive personal observation, nautical and inland meteorology, and plates to demonstrate cloud forms (cirrus, cumulus, stratus) and their prognostic value. Butler treats storms as intelligible phenomena arising from magnetic-electric interactions, not mysterious vortices, and outlines practical methods for forecasting using cloud types, winds, dew and barometric trends. An appendix supplements the discussion with army meteorological data and corroborative climate patterns.
