To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The leaves are then cut off from the plant close to the stem, and brought to the little pit, where they are arranged in a circle, with their cut ends resting on the edge of the cavity : another circle of leaves, similarly disposed, is placed above this, then another, tier above tier, but gradually contracting, till a hollow cone is formed, closed in at the top.
The cut extremities of the leaves are thus all resting over the skin in the ground, into which the sap flows. When one cone of leaves c...eases to yield anymore juice, it is replaced by another, and a third and fourth if need be, till the skin is full enoug'h for removal. As many of these cones are being built and replaced as keeps a person emploj'-ed; and the produce of the day is carried home, boiled down to the proper consistence in iron pots, and poured into large square boxes, in which it goes to market.
The price obtained for this drug from the merchant in Africa is only about 2^d. or 3d. a pound, not exceeding a tenth of the price of the Barbadoes and Socotrine article.
