To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Could we believe with Wilson and Her- schell, we might imagine the sun a very de- lightful residence ; its dark central body vari- egated by mountains and valleys, oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers, continents and islands, in in- finite variety ; with an equable and constant climate, no tropical heats and polar frosts, but a uniformly pleasant and fruitful season, con- tinuing forever ; no night, but one unchang- ing day, while its luminous atmosphere, thou- sands of miles away, filters its light... and heat down through the lower atmosphere upon the whole solar body alike. But Kirchhoff dispels the happy illusion, and turns our continents into white-hot liquids or solids, while Faye turns the solids and liquids into gas. We will be excused from a residence in the sun, if you please. Later experiments than those upon which Kirchhoff based his theory, have shown that conditions of temperature and pressure may exist under which gases will give unbroken spectra, just as incandescent solids and liquids do ; and so it may be that the light transmit- ted from the sun is not from a solid or liquid incandescent body.
