To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus it is that both rain, hail-storms, and thunder, are more fre- quent in the vicinity of mountains than of capes, &c. During summer ; and, on the contrary, that storm and rain is more frequent in the vicinity of the sea, but more particularly in the neighbourhood of capes and islands, than in mountains, during winter ; other circumstances being the same. For, as being in contrast with the dominant action of the sun during both seasons on plains and the interior of continents, mountain-tops, ...equally as capes, headlands, and islands, though differing in degree, are, to all intents, magnetic conductors in summer, and electrical conductors in winter. To which is to be traced the fearful celebrity of capes in winter, and of mountains during summer ; the first for the number and violence of the gales in their vicinity ; as the latter for hail and thunder-storms, as noticed. For, as the temperature on the summits of moun- tains during summer, is much colder than at their base ; on the contrary, during severe winters, the temperature on the summits of mountains however strange it may appear is much milder than in the neighbouring plains by which they are surrounded ; being, of itself, a sufficient proof that cold, the same as heat, results from an active agency > and that, as in the latter case, the principle on which its activity in the heavenly bodies is based, is reflective ac- Climate, as connected with Locality.
