To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He is fully capable of accomplishing many of the feats, which are recorded of him. The Barb alone excels him in noble and spirited action ; and if there be defects about him, he is perfect, for that for which he was designed. He presents the true combination of speed and bottom strength enough to carry more ihan a light weight, and courage that would cause him to die rather than give up. Several interesting anecdotes are related of the Arabian. A few of these may not be unacceptable to our read...ers. When the Arab falls from his mare, observes a writer, and is unable to rise, she will immediately stand still, and neigh until assistance arrives. If he lies down to sleep, as fatigue sometimes compels him, in the midst of the desert, she stands watchful over him, and neighs and rouses him if either man or beast ap- proaches. An old Arab had a valuable mare that had carried him for fifteen years in many a hard fought battle, and in many a rapid weary march ; at length, eighty years old, and unable longer to ride her, he gave her, and a scimitar that had been his father's, to his eldest son, and told him to appreciate their value, and never lie down to rest until he had rubbed them both as bright as a looking-glass.
