To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" A DEED in fee is given to every owner, the same as for any other real estate, on payment of the purchase money for the lot. Of the manner in which it has been laid out, it is enough to say, that it is done in a way that must add embellishments to a situation, which has been rendered altogether lovely, by the hands of nature. The walks and alleys intersect each other at right angles, and the design is to line them with trees, shrubbery, and flowers. Statues of Washington and La Fayette, are to... be raised, in a reserved plot, that will be highly ornamented, and become a kind of focus to the whole enclosure. The other suitable buildings, such as a chapel, &c. Have all been properly taken into the account, it being the design of the projector, to devote it to the purpose of burial ceremonials. The idea is undoubtedly, a good one, and as the house is very spacious, and conveniently arranged, a large funeral procession can enter, in rainy weather, during the performance of obsequies. Not far from the Chapel, and between the east and west gates, about half an acre of ground is handsomely laid out, for ornament- al purposes.
