To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is dug in the earth, without embank- ments, sluices, or locks. It receives the waters of the Beuv- ronne, the Therouanne, the Collinance, the Gergonne, and the Ourcq, and reaches the Villette basin in twenty-four hours, eighty-three feet above the lowest waters of the Seine ; a volume of water containing 672, 000 hogsheads. It was constructed under the direction of M. Girard, head canal and causeway en- gineer. " This is a model of navigation on a small scale, well applied to useful purposes..., " says M. Ferry ; " but its plan would not be equally beneficial under less favourable circum- stances, or in places where the'inrluence of royal authority could not be procured, and where, in consequence, difficulties, moral and physical, would arise to impede the construction of the work, and w r here the original expense would be greater than the permanent advantages. " The history of the Ourcq canal is an instructive one, especially when we compare the facts to be gathered from it, with those attendant upon the construction of the New York canal, W 7 hich is more than three hundred miles long.
