To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The first fact which I shall here attempt to explain, is the prevention, either wholly or in part, of cold from radiation, in sub- stances on the ground, by the interposition of any solid body be- tween them and the sky. This evidently appears to arise in the following manner. The lower body radiates its heat upwards, as if no other intervened between it and the sky ; but the loss, which it hence suffers, is more or less compensated by what is radiated to it from the body above, the under surfa...ce of which possesses always the same, or very nearly the same temperature as the air. In this way, therefore, is to be accounted for the warmth of the substances, which were sheltered from the sky by the raised board, the paste- board roof, and the hollow cylinders of earth and pasteboard. In these examples, the interposed substances cannot be supposed to have remitted more heat than they received. But in situations where large masses of bare solid matter exist, which are warmer than the atmosphere, from the heat of the preceding day or other causes, a greater heat will be received by the exposed body than what is radiated by itself.
