[Penzance, Nov. to April, Lorbes, 7 and 2 It does not appear that Devonshire possesses any decided advantages over London with respect to equability of climate, if we judge of the climate of London from the observations made at the apartments of the Royal Society only; but in so central a situation as the Strand, the changes must be ren- dered much less sensible by the effect of the surrounding buildings ; and they appear to be considerably greater at Gravesend, and greater still at Knightsbridge. In this re- spect too Penzance retains its superiority even over Devon- shire : [and Dr. Forbes's comparison of its climate, with that of Edmonton, is greatly in favour of its superior equability.] Lisbon seems to have a less variable temperature than any 25.9° 12.6 34. 31. 28.7 23.]](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21915805_0628.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
