To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Swedes excused the meanness of the garden at Upsalbecause the Court was seldom there, but here they commended the garden, and offered Whitelocke the favour to see it. He went about seven o'clockthis evening to view it, and to walk in the Queen's garden here. It wasnear unto his lodging, but at a distance from the castle; it is about sixor seven acres of ground, encompassed with a pale, on which they bestowtimber enough in the posts and rails, and the pales are not set uprightone by another,... but crosswise one upon another, between two great posts, with rivets for the pales to be put into, and so to fall down one uponthe other; and the pales are two inches thick or more, made of firtimber, and the posts and rails of oak.
This garden was distinguished into walks not well kept nor gravelled, butmost of them green; few flowers were to be seen there, though more thanat Upsal, and most of these were tulips not extraordinary. The sides ofthe walks were set with elm-trees and the like, but no fruit-trees werethere, nor are they common in this cold country, only, as they informedWhitelocke, in some places they have a few trees of plums, and smallcherries, and of apples; but he saw none in regard of the season, nor domany persons in these parts delight in gardens or in planting fruits orflowers, this climate not encouraging thereunto; yet here were greatboxes of wood with orange-trees, citron-trees, and myrtle-trees, veryyoung, planted in them; how they thrived was not much visible.
