Overview

Excerpt from An Essay on Calcareous Manures IT is very necessary that we should correctly distinguish earths and soils and their many varieties; yet these terms are continually misapplied - and, even among authors of high authority, no two agree in their definitions, or modes of classification. Where such differences exist, and no one known method is so free from material imperfections as to be referred to as a com mon standard, it becomes necessary for every one who treats of soils to define for himself - though perhaps he is thereby adding to the general mass of confusion already existing. This necessity must be my apology for whatever is new or unauthorized in the following definitions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
