To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Clyde, not including the greater part of its estuary, drains an area of 1, 580 square miles, the Tweed 1, 870 square miles. In England, the Tyne drains 1, 100 square miles, the Tees, 774. If we take the Trent and the Ouse as draining one area, the immense extent, for such a country as ours, of about 9, 550 square miles are drained into the Humber. The Witham, the Welland, the Nen, and the Great Ouse, flowing into the old bay of the Wash, drain 5, 850 square miles. The Thames drains an area ...of about 6, 160 square miles ; and if we include all the estuary, about 10, 000. The Severn drains an area of 8, 580 square miles. The Avon that enters the sea at Christchurch drains 1, 210 square miles ; the Ex, 643 ; the Towey, in Caermarthenshire, 506 ; the Dee, 862; the Mersey, 1, 748; the Kibble, 720; and the Eden, 995 ; and if we take all the rivers that run into the Solway Firth, including the Eden, the area drained amounts to nearly 3, 000 square miles. This leads to the question of the origin of river valleys and their different geological dates.
