To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is clear it is not the general atmosphere that does the mischief, but only the salt conveyed through the air by the west wind, prevailing more than any other throughout the year on this coast. If any protection is afforded, if a tree be in a sheltered spot, with some high ground rising betwixt it and the sea, the air then in no way affects its growth. On the contrary no situation whatever is so favour- able to its growth as this is. The salt possesses amongst its properties that of diffusing... into the atmosphere a peculiar degree of softness and warmth ; which may be seen from snow seldom lying long near the sea. It is through this medium that all trees are benefitted, if they can escape the effects of the direct passage of the saline current through the air. Plants of the most delicate kind, even myrtles, which under other circumstances would shrink and perish, here bear the winter's cold almost without protection or being covered. From the foregoing statement it is apparent that the first and only step necessary to overcome the difficulties alluded to, is to raise trees on the west side that will be a succour to those more distant, which will be thus secure under their shelter.
