To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Davawongse's suite. These spoke to us, and gave us some ex- planations. Presently some other foreigners arrived, — mission- aries and consuls. Soon the coffin, in a brass case without top or bottom, was put on the altar, being lifted up a foot or so. In the meantime priests were chanting all around. Large bundles of cloth were then put upon the bier, and after lying a moment were taken off by the priests. They were presents from the dead man's estate. Many of them had extra sheets and robes for... a year. About the catafalque were tall bamboo frames, so covered with lanterns as to resemble blazing pagodas. Just at dusk a steam barge steamed up in the canal close by, and Prince Ongnai, full brother of the king, and regent or second king, the first prince in the land, arrived, and then with a flourish another barge came from the palace with the sacred fire, which is never allowed to die out, sent by the king. " Ongnai," after passing among the guests with a few words for his friends and a polite greeting for all, lighted from this fire a piece of sandal-wood and a stick of resinous incense, and set fire to sandal-sticks under the bier.
