To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This, too, is generally done by women. The paper is now ready. The paper produced is generally white, but is sometimes coloured blue or yellow. The blue colour is imparted with indigo dissolved in the pulp vat from which the films are dipped up with the chhapri. The yellow colour is given by dissolving turmeric in the starch. Yellow paper is only produced in the Hooghly district. The implements used, it will thus be seen, are of the crudest kind possible ; they consist of some earthen vats, a d...henki for pounding the waste paper, a wooden mould, a bamboo sieve (chhapri), a wooden frame for supporting the chhapri, some mats for drying the sheets, some dhundul fruits for applying the starch, and a piece of plank and a smooth stone for pressing the paper. The chhapri alone is a rather delicate thing. It is procured from Serampore in the Hooghly district where it is made. It costs from Re. 1-1 to Rs. 2, and each piece lasts from 2^ to 3 months. The dipping up of the pulp with the chhapri is an operation requiring some skill.
