To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The height to which the air will have to ascend before it be cold enough to form clouds is a variable quantity, depending on the number of degrees which the dew point is below the temperature of the air ; . . . . and the difference between the dew point and the temperature of the air is called the complement of the dew point."f * Princiides of Meteorology, Hutchinflon, pp. 17» 21, 27. t Philosophy of Storms, Synopsis, Introduction, pp. viii. ix.

Dr. Thomson informs us, that ** Dalton has demonstrated, that the elasticity of water at the hoiling point, under mean pressure, and that of our atmosphere at the same pressure, are equal ; that aqueous vapour possesses exactly the same repulsive force in the atmosphere which it assumes in a vacuum, the temperature being the same ; and that as its elasticity depends upon the increase of heat, so it is possible to ascertain the amount of vapour floating in the air, at any temperature, by mea- suring the elasticity of the aerial fluid He reasoned upon evaporation as we do on the inertia of matter, and by experimental research discovered in it a conformity with the laws of mechanics.
