Scope and Content
Butche,r Rev. Edmund. The beauties of Sidmouth displayed. Sidmouth: John Wallis, 1820. Third Edition. p. 61. THE LIME upon this coast is, in general, very plentiful, and some of it of a very good quality. It is used in great quantities for manure, as well as the usual purposes to which lime is applied.[
] The workmen cut a large opening near the sea, take off the head, wheel it to the cliff, and there discharge their loads into the sea, as the cliff is exceedingly high and steep. They have kilns upon the spot to burn the lime.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
