To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

When Halley's Comet of 1682 approached the fierce ordeal of itsperihelion position, the exhalation of its tail was distinctlyperceived. First, little jets of light streamed out towards the sun, as if bursting forth elastically under the influence of the scorchingblaze; very soon these streams were stopped, and turned backwards bythe impulse of some new force, and as they flowed in this freshdirection, became the diverging streaks of the tail. Not only avapour-forming power, but also a vapour-dr...ifting power, is broughtinto play in the process of tail formation; and this latter must besome occult agent of considerable interest in a scientific point ofview, as well as of considerable importance in a dynamic one, for itis a principle evidently antagonistic to the great prevailingattribute of gravitation, so universally present in matter. Thecomet's tail is the only substance known that is repelled instead ofbeing attracted by the sun.
The repulsive power to which the development of the comet's tail isdue, is one of extraordinary energy.
