As may be seen by the sun through a mist, and overhead; it appears larger where there is no mist and diminished through mist. No portion of the luminous body is ever visible from any spot within the pyramid of pure derived shadow.\n122:108 : Between lines 1 and 2 there is in the original a large diagram which does not refer to this text.","title":"Vol. I: III.
