to_o the_o vulgar_a and_o more_o receive_v system_fw-la of_o the_o world_n we_o may_v render_v a_o no_o less_o rational_a account_n of_o the_o phaenomenon_n from_o other_o solid_a ground_n for_o suppose_v the_o heat_n to_o be_v far_o more_o intense_a to_o exhale_v and_o solicit_v vapour_n between_o the_o tropique_n when_o the_o sun_n be_v vertical_a and_o the_o ray_n fall_v at_o right_a
