To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Though the land is somewhat rough and broken, and has a mean elevation of about 700 feet above tide water, yet its agricultural capacities are not surpassed by any dis- trict in this State, or in the Union. The sun does not look upon richer or more productive lands than lie in the valleys of the Hoosick, the Walloomsac, and the Battenkill. The high figures which our premium crops have reached, and 15 the number of prizes, running through all the departments of husbandry, which our farmers annua...lly bear away from State and National Exhibitions, attest the truth of this seemingly bold assertion. When Spring puts on her emerald robe, and leads out to rich pastures, the flocks and herds which Winter has released ; when Summer sends its heat deep into the soil, and calls forth all its productive energies, and when Autumn passes over woodland and field, ripening the grain, tinting the fruits, coloring the forest leaves with brighter hues than painter ever placed upon canvass ; and finally, as a parting benediction, lays down its golden glories at the feet of the husbandman ; this district presents pictures of beauty, combined with comfort and substantial wealth, which neither the broad plantations of the South, nor the endless prairies of the West, can exhibit.
