About this book

It would be an interesting thing to make a careful study once a year, towards the end of the summer, of the habits and customs of thunder and lightning.

It has produced a big accumulation of records, and in this volume I can find room but for a résumé of them, as varied as possible. - Summary by Camille Flammarion
