She moved from London to Cobham in Surrey in 1823 and immediately began a series of regular observations which continued until 1858 and in part until 1867.[1] Each day she recorded data in 19 columns, including the date, hours of sunset and sunrise, several temperature readings, barometer pressure, observations on animals and on plants, and Tagliabue's storm glass reading.[1][2] This storm glass has been described by Anderson as "a mixture of camphor, potassium nitrate and ammonium chloride in alcohol and water, in which particles apparently crystallized more or less strongly under different weather conditions"; the same author notes that "it was described by her biographer dismissively as 'scarcely more than a scientific toy' ".[2] Molesworth's records covering 1825-1850 were published in 1880 as The Cobham Journals: abstracts and summaries of meteorological and phenological observations made by Miss Caroline Molesworth, at Cobham, Surrey, in the years 1825-1850, edited by Eleanor A. Ormerod (the first female fellow of the Meteorological Society), and reviewed in The Spectator.[3] This was republished in 2015 by Cambridge University Press.[4] She was the daughter of Sir William Molesworth, 6th Baronet, of Pencarrow, and Caroline Treby Ourry.[1] The Baronetcy went to her brother Arscott Ourry Molesworth and then his son William Molesworth. Caroline's nephew Hugh Molesworth inherited the title as 9th Baronet, and remained in Cornwall as a country parson: she sent him many gifts of flower and vegetable seed for the garden he planted at the Parsonage House, Little Petherick in 1857.[5] Molesworth's letters and her herbarium are held at Kew Gardens, London.[1] Her diaries of observations are held by the Met Office and are accessible online as .pdf files.[6] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book | url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=rUCUAgAAQBAJ&lpg=PT205&ots=7dV_A9Jap-&dq=%22caroline%20molesworth%22&pg=PT205#v=onepage&q=%22caroline%20molesworth%22&f=false | pages=907-908| title=The Biographical Dictionary of Women in Science: Pioneering Lives From Ancient Times to the Mid-20th Century | first1=Marilyn | last1=Ogilvie|first2=Joy|last2= Harvey|isbn=9781135963439 |publisher=Routledge | date=2003| accessdate=13 June 2017}} 2. ^1 {{cite book|last1=Anderson|first1=Katharine|title=Predicting the Weather: Victorians and the Science of Meteorology|date=2010|publisher=University of Chicago Press|isbn=9780226019703|pages=11-12|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=kx2HVDGmKlgC&lpg=PA12&ots=S5t1TUJWk9&dq=tagliabue%20storm%20glass&pg=PA12#v=onepage&q=tagliabue%20storm%20glass&f=false|accessdate=14 June 2017}} 3. ^{{cite journal|title=The Cobham Journals (Stanford)|journal=The Spectator|date=31 July 1880|page=31|url=http://archive.spectator.co.uk/article/31st-july-1880/23/the-cobham-journals-stanfordmiss-caroline-moleswor}} 4. ^{{cite book|author=Caroline Molesworth|title=The Cobham Journals|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mRloBgAAQBAJ&pg=PP5|date=5 March 2015|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-1-108-07768-2|pages=5–}} 5. ^{{cite web|last1=Donaldson|first1=David|title=The Flower and Vegetable Gardens Planted at the Parsonage House, Little Petherick in 1857|url=http://www.cornwallgardenstrust.org.uk/the-flower-and-vegetable-gardens-planted-at-the-parsonage-house-little-petherick-in-1857/|publisher=Cornwall Gardens Trust|accessdate=13 June 2017}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Cobham Weather Diaries 1825 - 1867|url=https://digital.nmla.metoffice.gov.uk/record/sdb%3AdeliverableUnit%7Cbd9b672b-b1c1-4514-880d-01050ac6a0a0/|website=Digital Library and Archive|publisher=Met Office|accessdate=13 June 2017}} Click "Browse record" to access large .pdf files External links
