To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They were the two elementsof the atmosphere (oxygen and nitrogen), nitric oxide, marsh-gas, carbonicoxide, and hydrogen. Many new experiments were tried before the principlethat governs the change from the gaseous to the liquid, or from the liquidto the gaseous form was discovered. Aime sank manometers filled with airinto the sea till the pressure upon them was equal to that of four hundredatmospheres; Berthelot, by the expansion of mercury in a thermometer tube, succeeded in exerting a pressur...e of seven hundred and eighty atmospheresupon oxygen. Both series of experiments were without result. M. Cailletet, having fruitlessly subjected air and hydrogen to a pressure of onethousand atmospheres, came to the conclusion that it was impossible toliquefy those gases at the ordinary temperature by pressure alone. Previously it had been thought that the obstacle to condensing gases bypressure alone lay in the difficulty of obtaining sufficient pressure, orin that of finding a vessel suitable for manipulation that would becapable of resisting it.
