The weather in Boston in essentially what it was at the days of the first settlement; and if there had been no record as low as 14 degrees below zero between the years 1873 and 1917, we may be entirely certain that the exact instruments which we now have would have recorded a temperature as low as that on several occasions since 1630, if they had been in existence.
