To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Though long cul- tivated in the south of Europe, yet every effort of enlightened and scientific men to introduce it into general use, had failed. Joel Barlow's poem in praise of hasty pud- ding, or mush, as we call it, and William Cobbett's extraordinary efforts proved alike unavailing, until the anathema of the latter upon the potatoe, seemed realized by the universal blight. It is probable that some inferior descrip- tions of corn were indigenous in both Asia and Africa — though on this dispu...ted point much ink has been shed, without settling the question. It is however certain, from the testimony of the early navigators, that Indian corn was in universal use among the native tribes of this continent, from Canada to Patagonia. Botanists have likewise dis- covered it in a state of nature, especially Humboldt and Bonpland. By the kindness of Peter A. Browne, Esq. , of Philadelphia, who has written an interesting essay upon Indian corn, I am enabled to exhibit to you an ear of native corn ; each grain of which is covered with a husk or glume.
