Abstract

We present a series of daily pressure readings taken in 1697–98 in Leiden (Netherlands) by W. Senguerd. The readings were reviewed, converted to modern units, and reduced to 0 °C. The 2 year series runs parallel with the Paris 1665–1713 and London 1697–1708 pressure series. Although the series covers a time span of 23 months only, it can be regarded as a useful addition to the very few pressure series that extend back into the 17th century.
