To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Probably this claim is far too high, using the word reclama- tion in the same sense as we should use it, but if it is well founded the institution compares very favourably in this respect with others which we visited, and it forms a strong testimony to the power of individual Christian sympathy and influence. The land colony extends over about 1, 000 acres, originally waste, but now for the most part brought into cultivation. The men are mostly kept at work trenching the sandy soil, which requi...res to be dug to a depth of about BIELEFELD 79 4 feet. They are credited with small wages, no part being paid in cash, nor even paid over when they leave, lest public-houses should spring up in the neighbourhood and catch the colonists as they are leaving the institution. The wages are remitted by Post-Office Order to any place the departing colonist may choose, so long as it is not within a certain distance. An offshoot of the Bielefeld institutions is the Moor or Turf Colony, called Freistatt, at Varrel in Hanover, which is conducted on much the same lines as Wilhelmsdorf.
