More promising looking was "On the Snows and Snow Crystals of the winter 1854-1855, as observed at Warrington (England)" by Thomas Glazebrook Rylands Esq. "I know no class of objects so easily accessible by everyone," Mr. Rylands wrote, "which at the same time offers equal attraction, and is capable of affording so large an amount of gratification to all classes of observers." What narrow and unqualified praise Thomas Glazebrook Rylands Esq. permitted himself. He went on to say: ". . . if (this treatise) shall induce more vigiliant attention hereafter to these minute but altogether admirable works of Him who 'giveth snow...
