The climate of England, in the opinion of many, has, of late years, undergone a considerable change.
Formerly we used to have smart frosts in winter; and hot, and sometimes dry summers. For some years back both winters and summers have generally been wet, with so little ice, that luxury, by its agents, has been obliged to procure it from foreign parts.
In the course of last year, those who kept a register of the weather tell us, there were but one hundred and three dry days. For the little that is passed of the present year, we have scarcely had six dry days.
