Now very few have the talent to discover the great variety itself of the ground, 
and the nature and disposition of every soil, what each of them may promise or 
deny us. Yea, when has any one man whatsoever had the opportunity to contem¬ 
plate on the parts of this art, so as thoroughly to understand the use, advantage, 
and management of all sorts of crops and of tillage and the various and different 
sorts of earth more unlike to one another, of which some deceive us by their color, 
some by their quality? And in some others, the black earth which they call brown 
or dusky deserves to be commended.
