To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
During the day, therefore, the land becomes considerably heated, and the air is rarefied ; the consequence is, that in the afternoon a breeze sets in from the sea, which is less heated. On the contrary, dur- ing the course of the night the land loses its heat, while that of the sea continues more nearly the same. Towards morning, therefore, a breeze re- gularly proceeds from the land towards the ocean, where the air is warmer, and consequently more rarefied, than on shore. The monsoons are peri...odical winds which blow between the tropics, and which, though the theory of them is rather more complicated, originate in the same cause. They depend, in- deed, upon large tracts of territory being heated during the warm season, by which the general course of the trade winds is partially interrupted. Thus, when the sun approaches the tropic of Cancer, the soil of Persia, Bengal, China, and the ad joining countries, is so much more heated than the sea towards the southward of these countries, that instead of the usual trade wind, the current of air proceeds at that season from the south to the north, contrary to what it would if no land was there.
