To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
113 SECTION V. Observation of Light and Heat. The class of agents or agencies (for we have no means of ascertaining whether they are the one or the other — whether they be real things, or mere phenomena of other things) to which we shall very briefly allude in this section, are light, heat, elec- tricit}-, and some others, which are sometimes (not very sensibly) called " imponderable" substances. Being " ponderable, " that is having w^eight, is the only real test that our observation can have o...f what we are accustomed to call material substances, that is, can be the objects in which those pheno- mena, which we are in the habit of calling the effects of the " laws of nature" can be exhibited or revealed to us through the medium of the senses. And even weight, though we can feel it, in resist- ance to our muscles and in the muscles themselves, in more minute portions than we can see with the eve, is yet never felt alone, so as that we can have any knowledge of it. In order to that, there must be something which we can call substance, and that substance must be of some extension, or measure, or bulk; that is, it must occupy space, and space in which there can be no other substance at the same time.
