To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In a previous chapter we have explained that many surface soils have no natural connection with the rocks which underlie them ; that they may have been carried to their present position, and de- posited by water arriving from various distances, and that conse- quently they may cover strata of an entirely different composition to their own. An examination of this point, being very easily made, should never be neglected, because, if beneath the overlying clays we come upon beds of marls, limeston...es, or sand, we need seek no further for what is necessary to remedy the defects under consider- ation. Presuming, however, the non-existence of any underground source of improvement, recourse must be had to outside means : the application of cinders, furnace refuse, coal dust, or ashes, the ashes of all kinds of burnt vegetable refuse; old and discarded building materials, large quantities of lime, chalk, or marls ; the whole of which will have the desired effect. In some rare cases we have heard it objected that none of the bodies we have enumerated could be obtained in sufficient quantities, near enough at hand to admit of their employment ; and that their transport from long distances is rendered impossible by the heavy and prohibitive charges for freight.
