By James Champlin Fernald
-
The atmosphere is a spherical mass of air, surrounding the earth in every part; the height of which is estimated at 15 or 16 leagues. It presses on the surface of the earth, and this pressure has, necessarily, sensible effects on organized bodies. The surface of the human body being reckoned at 15 square feet, it is computed that a pressure of 33,000 pounds or more exists under ordinary circumstances; and this pressure cannot be increased or diminished materially, without modifying the circulation and all the functions.
By Robley Dunglison

-
In chemistry, any special gaseous medium surrounding a solid or liquid body.
-
The normal pressure that the air exerts at sea level, equivalent to the pressure of a column of mercury 760 mm. high, i. e., about 15 lbs. to the square inch. [Gr.]
