To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

In 1842 a consignment of Jerome's clocks was sent to England, which was the beginning of a large and very profitable trade. f The possibility of large profits attracted other makers and the manufacture increased notably. By 1840 a yearly output valued at nearly $1,000,- 000 was reached. Then competition lowered prices to a disastrous extent. In 1855 Jerome's own company failed and others also. Production decreased for a time, until the panic of 1857 finally cleared the field and the business be...- came established on a permanent basis.
Jerome's invention in 1837 increased greatly and suddenly the demand for sheet brass, and it came at just the time when the brass mills were in a position to meet this demand.
Another household industry which had a notable develop- ment, and which also was later in close connection with the *"Hist. Clock Business", Jerome, pp. 60-64.
tJerome, "Hist.", pp. 60-64. "Hist. Amer. Mfrs.", Bishop, Vol. II, p. 427. Clocks of an invoice value of $1.50 paid twenty per cent duty and sold freely in England for twenty dollars each.
