To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of the latter type we may even add that the prevailing arrangement may be that of a maximum section remaining continuously horizontal, and with it, of course, two of the lateral faces of the prisms, although in many cases doubtless the majority of cases we must imagine the crystals constantly rotating on their horizontal axes in their downward motion. The reasons for these definite arrangements are readily explicable, though we need not stop to give them here. It is sufficient to recall the fac...t that such a body, as a match for example, cannot be made to fall through any considerable distance endwise, nor can a small flat body, like the petal of a flower, for example, be made to fall edgewise. The phenomena resulting from the refraction of light by such directed crystals must obviously bear some relation to the directions involved, which are only that of the sun and the vertical direction, or that of the zenith; hence all the resulting forms must be symmetrical with respect to a plane through these two points on the celestial sphere.
