Page 327 - which defy all such methods of examination, and which will yield only to the magical analysis of polarized light. A body which is quite transparent to the eye, and which appears upon examination to be as monotonous in its structure as it is in its aspect, will yet exhibit under polarized light the most exquisite organization,

Supposing they all acquired the same degree of solar heat which was thus converted into heat of temperature, and then radiated from the surfaces as simple heat, the real conclusion established is, that the RADIATING powers of surfaces for simple heat are in the inverse order of their conducting powers.
Page 158 - for 1816, Burckhardt gave the results of a comparison of Delambre's Tables with a great number of Maskelyne's observations (far greater than the number on which they were founded). It appeared that the epoch, the perigee, and the eccentricity, required sensible alterations, and that the mass of Venus ought to be reduced about
