ABSTRACT

ARISTOTLE relates in Bk I of his Meteorology that some scholars have called all the winds one wind, as if all rivers were by nature Lone river, supposing wind to be a motion of the air and that the variety of winds results from differences of locality. But, since they have said this without due enquiry, a statement on the subject will be better and more correct when natural causes have been carefully observed. 1
