The Rain Cloud
or, An Account of the Nature, Properties, Dangers and Uses of Rain in Various Parts of the World
Transcribed from the 1846 Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge edition by David Price
"The Rain Cloud" by Charles Tomlinson is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. The book provides an in-depth exploration of the nature, properties, dangers, and uses of rain in various parts of the world, focusing on the phenomena associated with rain clouds. Through a detailed analysis blending meteorology and descriptive narratives, the text aims to illuminate the importance of rain in nature and human endeavors. At the start of the work, the author introduces the concept of seasonal rains, beautifully describing how spring showers invigorate the landscape after winter’s freeze, while contrasting this with the summer's heavier rains and the melancholy of autumnal downpours. Tomlinson poetically captures the anticipation of rain, detailing the atmospheric conditions leading to its arrival and the vibrant effects it has on the natural world. He hints at the intricate relationship between clouds and weather, discussing how clouds form and their deceptive appearances, setting the stage for a comprehensive examination of weather phenomena influenced by rain throughout the book.
