To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At the bottom of this shaft a lateral excavation was made for com- mencing the Tunnel, and from thence the constant protection and support of the soil (with the great weight of water upon it) was efffected by means i^ ° ^ ' Digitized by VjUUQIC of a strong iron frame of Mr. Brunbl's inyention^ which being pressed forward gradually with the pro- gress of the excavation, was immediately followed up by very substantial brickwork, the dimensions of which wiU be found in this collection. The situati...on fixed upon for this important under- taking is perhaps the only one between London Bridge and Greenwich where it could be attempted, without interfering essentially with the great public establishments on either side of the river: it is about two miles, below London Bridge, in a very popu^ lous and highly commercial neighbourhood, where a facility of land communication between the two shores is very desirable, and where a successful issue must be very advantageous to the adjacent counties as well as to the immediate neighbourhood.
