To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The thing took wing, & now 37 there was nothing to be seen but fires in every direction. Fuel and pigs grew enormously dear all over the di^tridt. The insurance*offices one and all shut up shop. People built slighter & slight* er everyday, until it was feared that the very science of architecture would in no long time be lo& to the world. Thus this custom of firing houses continued, till in process of time, says ray manuscript, a sage a* rose, like our Locke, who made a dis* covery that the fle...sh of swine, or in* deed of any other animal, might be cooked (burnt, as they called it) with* out the necessity of consuming a whole house to dress it. Then fir^t began the rude form of a gridiron. 38 Roasting by the string or spit came in a century or two later, I forget in whose dynasty. By such slow degrees, con* eludes the manuscript, do the mo^l useful, & seemingly the mo^t obvious, arts make their way among mankind. Without placing too implicit faith in the account above given, it mu^t be agreed that if a worthy pretext for so dangerous an experiment as setting houses on fire (especially in these days) could be assigned in favor of any culinary objedt, that pretext and ex* cuse might be found in ROAST PIG.
