To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That the causes controlling the velocity of a stream and those which give it ability to carry sediment are oppo- sing forces, and that, consequently, a nice equilibrium is established between the- current and the load carried at all times; therefore, any increase of velocity cause an instant attack upon the banks or bottom to obtain the additional material required to satisfy the increased carrying power, and, on the other hand, any decrease of velocity involves the deposit of a proportional pa...rt of the load previously borne. These theoretical propositions (except the statement as to "opposing forces, " which is an obscure passage, and untrue in the only interpretation that can be given, for carrying power increases with the velocity) are plainly derived from the papers of Mr. Login, read before the British Association, differing only by substituting "modi- fied by depth'' for "inverse ratio to depth, " and, in suppression of the fundamental principle, that the taking up and transportation of solid matter, being mechanical work, must consume force, which force is derivable from the current alone: therefore, .
