The meteorological observations in this volume are in two differenct hands. Those for 1776-1792 are attributed by A.B. Grosart to a Lieutenant Ferguson, said to be the son of Adam Ferguson (1723-1816), Professor of Philosophy at Edinburgh University, 1764-1785, while those for 1793-1794 are ascribed to a Judge Morris. The accuracy of these ascriptions is questionable, since Professor Ferguson's eldest son would only have been five years old in 1776, and Charles Morris (1711-1781), if the surveyor and chief justice of Nova Scotia is meant, would have been dead for 12 years in 1793).
