Page 125 of note * [“Whether the effect of (printing the observations of many observatories) will be that millions of useless observations will be added to the millions that already exist, or whether something may be expected to result which will lead to a meteorological theory, I cannot hazard a conjecture. This only I believe, that it will be useless at present to attempt a process of mechanical theory; and that all that can be done must be to connect phenomena by laws of induction. But the induction must be carried out by numerous and troublesome trials in different directions, the greater part of which would probably be failures.”

SIR GEORGE AIRY, 1867.]
