Of his wind notations, Locke remarks I not having the Convenience to observe the Points exactly, have marked but 8, but yet with this Variety, that where I set two Letters, the Wind was most from the point whose Letter stands first, v.g. WN signifies more West than North. When I set only one Letter, it was in or very near that Cardinal Point. The Strength is marked by 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. 0 signifies not so much Wind that mov'd any Leaf that I could see in a Garden I looked into out of my Window, but the Letter join'd to it signifies which way the Weather-Cock then stood, whether the former Wind left it so, or the present Breeze blew that way. 1 signifies a gentle Gale, just perceivable by the moving of the Leaves or Plants. 4 signifies a very violent Storm; 2 and 3 the several Degrees between 1 and 4, as well as I could judg. p. 89.
