Excerpt from The Southern Planter, Vol. 20: Devoted to Agriculture, Horticulture, and the Household Arts, March, 1860But, he observes, f' I began to see rea son, not long after my regular course of exper iments commenced, w doubt its truth, as I found that bodies would sometimes become colder than the air, without being dewed, and that, when dew was formed, if different times were compared, its quantity, and the degree of cold which appeared with it, were very far from being always 111 the same pro portion to each other The frequent recur rence of' such' observations at length con verted the doubt of the justness of my an cient Opinion into a conviction of its error, and at the me time occasioned me to con clude that ew is the production of a pre ceding cold in the substances on which it appears. Further - J' that the cold which produces dew is itself produced by the 1a diation of heat from these bodies upon which dewis deposited.Thus it was discovered that an eject had heretofore abeen mistaken for a cause and the explanation of the various phenomena connected with the subj ect, a¿orded by this theory, has since remained unchallenged and 1s admitted to be incontrovertible.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
