To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Loire is now navigated by steamboats the whole way from Nevers to St. Nazaire, a dis- tance of about five hundred miles. This na- vigation is divided into three portions, which are, I believe, worked by three different com- panies. S8 STEAM NAVICA'I ION ON THE LOIRE. The first of these plies between Nevers and Orleans, a distance of about a hundred and sixty miles. This is perlornied in one day for the descent, and two for the return. The second carries you from Orleans to Nantes, about two... hundred and forty miles. This distance is accomplished in two days descend- ing, and three in ascending the stream. Fi- nally, the boats of the bas Loire descend and return from Paimbceuf twice daily, and pro- long their voyage to St. Nazaire, a mere little fishing-town, twice or thrice a week. This lower part of the river has of course been navigated by steam for a much longer jicriod ; and indeed I believe that from Nantes np as far as Angers boats have been for some time established. But the navigation of the u})per })art of the river is difficult, from the great want of water to which the stream is oc- casionally subject during the dry season.
