To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Describe the Onondaga works. The springs are in low marsh lands, in which wells of two or three hundred feet are sunk. Out of these wells the salt water is pumped to the resorvoirs. The brine holds from seventeen to twenty per cent, of Salt. It stands in the reservoir to let the sediment settle, and alum is added to hasten this action. Coarse Salt is secured by running the brine out of the reservoirs into tanks that are only six inches deep. The tanks near Syracuse cover hundreds of acres. Here... the sun will leave fifty bushels a year in a tank only sixteen by eighteen feet in size. How is fine Salt secured ? Parallel rows of vat-cauldrons, set in brick " blocks," extend the length of the woiks. Each cauldron will boil one hundred SALT, 211 gallons of brine. By the process of the manufacturers, whether by precipitation or otherwise, the sulphate of lime, oxide of iron, and chlorides of magnesium and calcium are taken away, and when this fine Salt is barreled it weighs fourteen pounds less to the bushel than the solar Salt.
