The Philosophy of Storms is a scientific treatise by James P. Espy, published in Boston in 1841 by Charles C. Little and James Brown, aimed at readers interested in meteorology. Its pictures are hand-drawn maps charting storm tracks and wind directions across North America and the British Isles, with arrows and numbered positions a designer could borrow for diagrammatic, data-driven map graphics.
