To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Roadside notes : Water, in its absence and its presence, is the chief curse of Switzerland ; absent, not only is uncleanliness the hot bed of those peculiar human evils goitre and cre- tinism, but also the poor unwashed cottager's upland crop is parched, his harvest droops and perishes ; present, his sloping fields are bodily TILLAGE. 217 cleansed off by the cataracts to the bare rock, his rich valleys are inundated with shaley mud and boulders. And hereabouts the Rhone and its glacier-bom trib...utaries are a curse in the desolating way; industry is mocked and energy extinguished by those overwhelming spring- time floods : while summer heat draws out of their deposit malaria to tenant ruins. This will in part account for the bit by bit parish- garden cultivation of these valleys ; some small proprietors hope on still, while others are en- tirely discouraged: but throughout all the countries we have visited there is another injurious cause, in the infinitesimal subdivision of property. No farming can be really good without a fair breadth of land, seeing that in the absence of some such expanded right of til- lage, draining is an impossibility ; Goldsmith's Deserted Village-wish, that "every rood of land support its man," is the shallowest -uto- pianism: what is to become of that man's children ?
