In 1854, the great remedial legislation of the abolition of the corn laws had borne its full fruits; the agitation for the charter, though not extinct, had cooled down, and working men in the manufacturing districts had begun to appreciate the value of association and the uses of combination.

Put together, the cores provide the first solid evidence to back a theory that millennial scale climate changes that have unfolded in the far north and south of the Atlantic are not isolated, local events, but linked.
The MOC channels warm surface water up to the North Atlantic, coincidentally enabling countries in northwestern Europe to have a balmy climate despite their northerly latitude.
"Our data shows that the degree of warming in the south is linearly related to the duration of cold periods in the North Atlantic," says lead author Dr Hubertus Fischer of Germany's Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven.

 Relations of the Temperate Floras of North and South America, by Douglas Houghton Campbell
Since we now have as allies most of the South American countries, it might be well for us to become better acquainted with the botanists of South America and their studies of the floras of those countries.
Similar conditions prevail in temperate South Africa and Australia, where the southernmost regions are under 50° S. Excepting in the high mountains there is no such difference between winter and summer as exists in corresponding latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere.
While, in general, there is nearly a complete absence in South America of characteristic North American genera and species, in the Pacific Coastal Region there is a remarkable number of genera and even species common to Chile and central and southern California, and the adjacent southwestern areas.
