Excerpt from On the Nature of Thunderstorms: And on the Means of Protecting Buildings and Shipping Against the Destructive Effects of Lightning Dear Sir, Having been honoured by your permission to dedicate to you the following pages, I avail myself of the opportunity to express publicly my sense of the full consideration which, so long since as the year 1830, you gave to my proposals for defending Her Majesty's ships from the destructive effects of Lightning. Your anxious regard for the national welfare, and especially for the interests of the Navy of England, would necessarily have ensured a patient investigation of such proposals; but the kind attention with which you received my statements, and the candour and fairness with which you inquired into the many objections that were urged against them, have rendered the distinction of your approbation most valuable to me.

Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.
