Overview

Excerpt from The American Journal of Science and Arts, Vol. 27: January, 1835 Notwithstanding the great diversity of soils, (according to locali ties, ) which is observable on the Eastern shore Of Maryland, it would be easy to shew, that, excluding the vegetable and animal matter, contained in them, they may all be arranged under two classes; namely, those containing a predominance of silicious ingredients, and such as contain a predominance of argillaceous ingredients; in other words, sandy soils, and clayey soils. It is presumed that the great characteristic of the soil, in this portion of the territory of Maryland, is an absence, or deficiency of calcareous ingredients.
