To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
During her colonial subjection maritime enter prises were forbidden to her by every restriction which the most watchful jealousy could devise ; since the revolution, 61 she has been constantly occupied in contending for her emancipation, or in arranging her internal affairs; nor has there been time for her previous habits to be altered. Whe ther her inhabitants ever will have a taste for navigation is doubtful ; because the great majority of them reside upon the elevated land, which is remote f...rom the Atlantic. The region which skirts the gulf of Mexico has the reputa tion of being very sickly, and this reputation appears to be too well founded. It is almost impossible that large towns can exist in a malignant climate, and large towns accessible from the sea are invariably either the causes or the consequences of a great amount of shipping. Besides, it is not easy to conceive how a large number of vessels can be built in sickly regions, because their mere con struction necessarily concentrates numerous workmen, and their families.
