Franklin's observations were taken from a letter entitled ‘Meteorological Imaginations and Conjectures’, that was written in May 1784 and read before a scientific audience six months later. It is reproduced in an article about the Laki eruption by Sigurdsson, H.: 1982, ‘Volcanic Pollution and Climate: The 1783 Laki Eruption’,EOS (August 10, 1982): 601–602.
