To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Rankine, as already stated. Others, who have published on the same subject, either lately or some years .past, in periodicals, have only produced isolated methods, which are either mere copies of one or other of my methods, or such as will never be adopted in practice.
I do not mean to infer, from what I have already said, that some other person or persons would not have invented the same methods of laying out curves, provided I bad never invented them ; as the subject involves no great difiScu
...lties, in a mathe- matical point of view, the difficulties being chiefly of a practical character, to surmount which a combination of the knowledge of those practical difficulties, of the use of surveying instruments, and of Geometry and analytical Trigonometry is requisite.
In concluding these remarks I have the consolation to say, that I completely anticipated, a quarter of a century ago, all that has since been done hy others on this subject, that can be considered of real practical utility ; and of all the inventions eon' nected with railways, my methods of laying out curves on the ground, espeeiaUy two of them, have been the most generally adopted in practice, the other two methods being only required in particular cases.
