• “But the frigorific effect of leafy structure is well observed in the deposit of dew and the occurrence of hoarfrost on the foliage of grasses and other small vegetables, and on other objects of similar form and consistence, when the temperature of the air a few feet above has not been brought down to the dew-point, still less to 32 degrees, the degree of cold required to congeal dew to frost [31].”

• “Upon substituting balls of snow for heated bodies, they even went so far as to prove that frigorific foci may be formed by way of reflection.”
