To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the small village of Yetholm I found, by the report of the parish minister, that there were no less than thirty able-bodied men, accustomed to work on the adjoining farms, who were then unable to procure a single day s labour. Alarmed by the fall in the prices of grain foolishly so, I think, on the part of farmers in such a half-pastoral district as that the holders of the land had ceased to employ a single labourer they could dispense with. How the country suffers from this, besides the ind...ividual privation and misery it occasions ! Every one of these patient intelligent men who emi grates is a loss to his country ; and yet, I thought, how much more happy and permanently comfortable would those now idle men be, were they situated with their families on little farms of their own, like their old neighbours now settled at Harvey. Had I known of a bit of good land a handy " to that settlement, I could have felt in my heart to urge them to make up a party among themselves with the view of going there, and to offer to aid them in their views.
