![File: Horace_Greeley restored.jpg (763 KB, 1223x1701) Don't read 19th century literature if you want to preserve your sanity Anonymous 06/18/24(Tue)06:56:21 No.23500504 >>23500557 >>23500692 >>23501718 >>23501763 >>23501799 Reading 19th century literature will blackpill you on the deterioration of learning and decline of letters since then. Here's an excerpt from "What I Know About Farming' by an abolitionist writer Horace Greeley >In no other form can so large an amount and value of human food be obtained from an acre of ground as in that of edible roots or tubers; and of these the Potato is by far the most acceptable, and in most general use. Our ancestors, it is settled, were destitute and ignorant of the Potato prior to the discovery of America, though Europe would now find it difficult to subsist her teeming millions without it. In travelling pretty widely over that continent, I cannot remember that I found, any considerable district in which the Potato was not cultivated, though Ireland, western England, and northern Switzerland, with a small portion of northern Italy, are impressed on my mind as the most addicted to the growth of this esculent. Other roots are eaten occasionally, by way of variety, or as giving a relish to ordinary food; but the Potato alone forms part of the every day diet alike of prince and peasant. It is an almost indispensable ingredient of the feasts of Dives, while it is the cheapest and commonest resort for satiating or moderating the hunger of Lazarus. I recollect[Pg 171]hearing my parents, fifty years ago, relate how, in their childhood and youth, the poor of New-England, when the grain- crop of that region was cut short, as it often was, were obliged to subsist through the following Winter mainly on Potatoes and Milk; and I then accorded to those unfortunates of the preceding generation a sympathy which I should now considerably abate, provided the Potatoes were of good quality. Roasted Potatoes, seasoned with salt and butter and washed down with bounteous draughts of fresh buttermilk, used in those days to be the regular supper served up in farmers' homes after a churning of cream into butter, and I have since eaten costly suppers that were not half so good. A book about planting f------ potatos is stylistically better than what passes for good literature today (recall that in his own time Greeley was considered a mediocrity who had to enlist the services of more talented writers like Marx to keep the quality of his newspapers afloat). How do we cope with this? Anonymous 06/18/24(Tue)07:13:48 No.23500557 >>23500504 (OP) potato](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/002/841/696/0fe.jpeg "Anon hates modern books | /r/Greentext")
