To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The absence of business, except that which connects itself with politics and government offices, is no doubt in a large measure the cause of this. Since 1800 it has been the political centre and capital of the United States. We went at once to the Capitol, and devoted a morning to its in vestigation. It is, both for beauty and interest, pre-eminent among the buildings of the western continent, and Americans may well be pardoned if they rank it among the great buildings of the world. It was foun...ded by Washington himself in 1794, and has been growing ever since, though still far from completion. It contains the Council-chambers of the Senators and Representatives, the Supreme Court of Justice, the Congress Library, and a number of handsome rooms, including a vast Rotunda, the centre of the building, surmounted by a lofty dome, and a National Statuary Hall, adorned with statues and busts, of small artistic merit, but great historical interest, representing American statesmen, among them Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson, and Lincoln.
