To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The death of her husband was at length followed by the death of both of her sons, who had been the co-labor- ers and traveling companions of their father; the fortune which had re- warded their mutual efforts w^as re- duced by unfortunate investments, and many trials and burdens pressed upon her declining years ; but she met her trials without shrinking and bore her burdens patiently. Cheered by the society of the intelligent and the good, with undiminished fond- ness for intellectual pursuits,... and still 15 surrounded by descendants who hon- ored and loved her, she occupied her time in preparing a biography of her husband, which is at once a noble tribute to his memory and a monu- ment of her own hterary abihty and industry. It is a fascinating volume, published in fitting style by Putnam, and is in every way worthy of its great subject. Five years have elapsed since Mad- ame Audubon left us, in company with a devoted granddaughter, for the old Kentucky home. She went to the house of a younger brother in Louisville, but she was soon called to follow him to the grave ; two others of her family died not long after his death, and she, the oldest of four, outlived them all.
