disapprove_v because_o it_o be_v likely_a and_o indeed_o we_o find_v it_o so_o by_o experience_n that_o the_o external_a air_n will_v first_o freeze_v the_o uppermost_a part_n of_o the_o water_n contain_v in_o the_o stem_n and_o thereby_o hinder_v its_o ascent_n and_o perhaps_o occasion_v the_o burst_n of_o the_o low_a part_n of_o the_o say_a stem_n 8._o wherefore_o though_o for_o want_n of_o a_o sufficient_a quantity_n of_o some_o liquor_n that_o will_v neither_o freeze_v like_o water_n and_o aqueous_a body_n nor_o congeal_v like_o common_a oil_n and_o the_o like_a unctuous_a juice_n we_o find_v it_o for_o a_o while_n somewhat_o difficult_a to_o practice_v the_o experiment_n yet_o bethink_v ourselves_o of_o the_o indisposition_n that_o brine_n have_v to_o congelation_n we_o make_v so_o strong_a a_o brine_n with_o common_a salt_n that_o with_o it_o and_o as_o i_o remember_v with_o oil_n of_o turpentine_n also_o of_o which_o we_o chance_v to_o have_v some_o quantity_n by_o we_o we_o

water_n the_o cold_a of_o a_o frosty_a night_n make_v the_o air_n shrink_v in_o the_o pipe_n near_o five_o inch_n and_o the_o other_o which_o be_v the_o accurate_a i_o meet_v with_o among_o my_o collection_n give_v i_o this_o account_n that_o january_n the_o 29._o the_o air_n extend_v into_o 2057._o space_n be_v by_o the_o cold_a of_o the_o sharp_a and_o frosty_a night_n contract_v into_o 1965._o space_n so_o that_o in_o extraordinary_o cold_a weather_n the_o most_o we_o can_v make_v the_o air_n lose_v of_o its_o former_a dimension_n by_o the_o additional_a cold_a of_o the_o atmosphere_n be_v a_o 22._o part_n and_o a_o little_a more_o than_o a_o three_o and_o this_o be_v the_o great_a condensation_n of_o the_o air_n that_o we_o remember_v ourselves_o to_o have_v observe_v though_o we_o be_v so_o careful_a as_o after_o we_o have_v place_v mark_n where_o the_o incongealable_a liquor_n reach_v in_o the_o pipe_n that_o when_o the_o internal_a air_n be_v expose_v abroad_o to_o the_o cold_a we_o cause_v servant_n to_o watch_v and_o from_o time_n to_o time_n to_o take_v notice_n by_o place_v mark_n of_o the_o various_a ascent_n of_o the_o liquor_n especial_o early_a in_o

of_o include_v air_n by_o the_o natural_a and_o unassisted_a cold_a of_o the_o external_a air_n we_o think_v fit_a to_o prosecute_v the_o trial_n somewhat_o further_o and_o in_o regard_n we_o conceive_v the_o cold_a of_o a_o mixture_n of_o snow_n and_o salt_n to_o be_v far_o more_o intense_a then_o that_o of_o the_o mere_a ambient_fw-la air_n alone_o we_o endeavour_v to_o measure_v as_o near_o as_o we_o can_v how_o much_o the_o one_o exceed_v the_o other_o and_o though_o we_o find_v that_o by_o prosecute_a the_o late_o mention_v trial_n in_o the_o glass-egg_n by_o the_o application_n of_o ice_n and_o salt_n to_o the_o elliptical_a part_n of_o the_o vessel_n the_o liquor_n rise_v by_o our_o estimate_n near_o four_o inch_n more_o than_o those_o five_o which_o it_o have_v rise_v already_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o refrigeration_n of_o the_o include_v air_n by_o the_o bare_a cold_a of_o the_o external_a yet_o by_o prosecute_a the_o other_o experiment_n make_v the_o 29._o of_o january_n at_o the_o same_o time_n when_o we_o be_v make_v it_o we_o do_v somewhat_o more_o accurate_o determine_v the_o matter_n for_o by_o apply_v ice_n and_o salt_n to_o the_o outside_n of_o the_o vessel_n we_o find_v that_o the_o include_v air_n be_v contract_v from_o 1965._o space_n to_o which_o the_o cold_a of_o the_o ambient_fw-la air_n have_v reduce_v it_o into_o 1860._o space_n so_o that_o the_o circumposition_n of_o ice_n and_o salt_n do_v as_o much_o nay_o somewhat_o more_o condense_a it_o after_o the_o mere_a cold_a of_o the_o external_a air_n have_v contract_v it_o as_o far_o as_o it_o can_v than_o the_o bare_a though_o intense_a cold_a of_o the_o ambient_fw-la air_n can_v condense_a it_o at_o first_o and_o the_o great_a degree_n of_o adventitious_a cold_a we_o be_v able_a to_o give_v by_o the_o help_n of_o nature_n or_o of_o art_n do_v not_o make_v the_o air_n expose_v to_o it_o lose_v a_o full_a ten_o part_n of_o its_o former_a dimension_n on_o which_o occasion_n it_o may_v not_o be_v unworthy_a observation_n that_o there_o be_v no_o great_a disparity_n betwixt_o the_o proportion_n in_o which_o the_o cold_a be_v able_a to_o condense_a the_o air_n and_o that_o wherein_o the_o cold_a be_v able_a to_o expand_v water_n 10._o this_o be_v all_o that_o at_o present_a i_o think_v fit_a to_o say_v concern_v the_o interest_n that_o wind_n may_v have_v
