About this Book Scan

Carefully scanned in full colour from our original printing of the undated original edition.

William Joseph Simmonite’s The Astro-Philosopher and Meteorologist, launched in the late 1840s, served as a companion volume to his Celestial Philosopher, and appears to consist chiefly of further material compiled from his various periodical publications, but is by far the rarer of the two books.
