About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1823. Not illustrated.

The plants come up sooner and better by this means; swampy, cold places are dried up quicker; the dormant virtues of the land are called into action by its generative warmth; the sugar-cane appears strong and healthy, shewing a luxuriant promise, and the juices are richer, and with more speed brought to maturity, and make better, stronger-grained sugar. So impartial is this luminary in giving and distributing its nourishment to the vegetable creation, that some time of the day its rays will strike progressively upon most parts of a cane-piece, save such places as are sunk in gullys or dells, nature excluding them from its bright beams, yet giving and granting them the virtues of the air that is heated and rarified by it.
