To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If the plundering tenant were discharged, he was generally succeeded by another whose genius for stealing was superior to that of his predecessor, as upon an exhausted farm he must skin more severely and steal more largely, to obtain a living. If the first thief took nearly all, the second was sure to take what was left. The owner being thus annually robbed, becomes tired of what he once considered the safest investment, and is anxious to sell. But a farm thus long the victim of spoliation, fin...ds few cash buyers. It will require time, labor, and money, to restore it. Depreciation is a rapid process, but restoration a slow one. Cash buyers prefer land in good condition, considering it cheaper to enter on a farm in prime order, at a high price, than on a poor one at ar low figure. It is fortunate for the country that all who are looking for farms do not entertain the same opinion. If they did, the numerous tracts which have been thus skinned to death would be reoccupied by the forest, as none would be found courageous enough to undertake the slow and costly process of resuscitating them.
