04 April: Oliver Goldsmith died, 1774
The third month of autumn, is usually one of the most settled of the
year. The days generally are distinguished by beautiful bright
sunshine, by an almost entire absence of wind, and by a soft balmy
state of the atmosphere; although the temperature begins sensibly to
decline, and the nights to lengthen considerably, whilst heavy dews
and diminished transpiration and evaporation begin to render
artificial wtering in the open air unnecessary.

Ref. Southern Provinces Almanac, 1868
