“Hints for an Essay on Anemology and Ombrology, founded partly on admitted Principles, and partly on Observations and Discoveries, recently made, on the Influence⟳ of the Planet Jupiter and its Satellites on our Atmosphere; with a Weather Almanack for 1841. By Peter Leigh, Esq., A.M., Author of "The Music of the Eye."”

“Combined and digested, these observations give⟳ us a very intelligible view⟳ of the fall⟳ of rain⟳ that occurs over the island. Yet further multiplied and continued for a series of years, they would reduce⟳ our knowledge of the ombrology of the country to the state of definite scientific information.”

“"[…] We're so huge a field we even contain⟳ a branch of knowledge called 'ombrology' that studies rain⟳." […] "Ombrology?" Josh asked, stressing the syllable 'om.' "Shouldn't the field be called umbrellogy?"”
