The 1st Column shews the Quicksilver in the barometric Tube
    standing at each Inch from 1 to 10, and at each Tenth from 10 to
    32 Inches.

  The 2d Column shews the Height of the barometric Tube, above
    the _imaginary Level at 32 Inches_,—_with_ the Temperature of
    31.24;—in Feet and Tenths, answering to Inches and Tenths of the
    Barometer in the first Column.

  The 3d Column shews the Height in Feet and Tenths, answering to a
    Tenth of an Inch on the Barometer, being the +difference+ between
    each two adjoining Heights in the 2d Column.
