Patrick Murphy (1782–1847) The Weather Almanac for the Year 1838
-
Description
-
Almanacs were one of the biggest mass market products of their time. They are annual publications with information on subjects of daily use to their readers. In 1838 Murphy’s Weather Almanac correctly predicted that the coldest day of the year would fall on 20 January, which made its sales sore. An unknown annotator of this copy has checked its predictions for accuracy. Popular almanacs producing accurate knowledge posed a challenge to elite scientific meteorologists at the time.
