To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is neces- sary to recall all this because it shows that agriculture did not, as is commonly supposed, succumb suddenly or rapidly under the march of industrialism, which was proceeding at the maximum of intensity during the period under review. For many decades it advanced in productivity sufficiently to fulfil in a fair measure the function of feeding the popula- PROSPEROUS PERIODS 31 tion. And it did so through alternate periods of prosperity and adversity. From 1780 to 1813 agriculture wa...s prosperous, though the poor suffered from high prices ; from 1814 to 1836 it \vas extremely depressed. Mr. Prothero attributes the prosperity of the first period mainly to the weather and the war, which sent up prices ; after the war taxation and the fall of prices brought adversity. Each in turn seems to have stimulated effort- prosperity by the hope of gain, adversity by the pressure of necessity. After 1836 agri- culture began to look up again, and in 1852 entered on another golden age, which lasted in full for ten years and did not finally dis- appear in the gloom of a long and deep depression until 1874.
