    The document appears to be discussing clouds and electricity based on three key points: 1) It references a Mr. Smee who observed clouds reflecting on mountainsides and questions if they should have discharged electricity instead of remaining. 2) It notes that cold bodies can condense vapor regardless of electric properties, using examples of dew forming on mirrors and window panes. 3) The author is persuaded that while clouds may sometimes have accumulated electricity, this is only accidental and not constant, and therefore electricity cannot influence cloud elevation or support.
