To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The completion of the printing and engraving will of course require a longer time; but it will perhaps be reasonable to esti mate that within four years, from the present time the full series of volumes may be in the hands of the public. No provision has yet been made by the Legislature for the arrange ment and exhibition of the collections made by the survey, as was con templated in the original Act under which our work was commenced. These collections are already very extensive, embracing man...y thousand specimens of rocks, fossils, minerals, and ores, as well as the extremely important suites in the zoological and botanical departments. All these specimens are of great value, as illustrating the natural history, the geological structure, and the mineral resources of the State. Such of these as have not been required for use in the preparation of our report, remain packed in boxes and stored away at the office of the survey. Unfortunately, we were obliged, for want of room, to store a portion of our specimens in a (so-called) fireproof warehouse in San Francisco, and these have already been destroyed by fire, entailing a serious loss on the survey and the State.
