To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
* it recedes into the distance. To his right, is a continua- tion of the eminence upon which he stands, until it is skirt- ed by the dark line of forest two or three miles distant. In his rear, along the sides of the Bladensburgh road, is the same broken ground, but partly cultivated. To his left a small and rugged street runs from the Capitol gate* 96 in a southerly direction over the hilly ground, and at the distance of a mile and a half are seen the large sheds of the navy yard. Rather more ...to the south, but at the distance of two miles, near the Potomac, is the long brick building of the penitentiary, with the arsenal in rear of it. On the open ground between them and the Capitol are the ruins and gable ends of some houses. A canal filled with water in some parts, and in others only partially ex- cavated, winds towards him from the river, across which the remains of a wooden bridge, a mile and a quarter in length, are to be seen. Such is Washington! Upon the whole, it has a desolate appearance, which is increased by the land marked out for its site being entirely destitute of trees, and only here and there (excepting where the pre- sent town is situated) are scattered houses, each standing isolated, as if requiring some support on either side.
