To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At Moulin, from whence we crossed the Meuse on our search, in a ferryboat which is propelled by a rope extended above the river, are now several copper and brass works and iron forges, where once stood an abbey, founded in 1231, for nuns of the order of Citeaux, and richly endowed by Baldwin de Courtenay, Count of Narnur and Emperor of Constantinople. About half a mile further, the valley opens : in front are seen the broad plains of Anhee, one mass of golden grain; beyond them the distant chur...ch of Senenne and the ridge of Haut le Wastia ; and, a little to the left, the winding Meuse, flowing beneath the towering heights of Poilvache, whose widely spread ruins cut the sky with then: clear dark outline. Poilvache is so closely connected with the history and traditions of the Meuse, that I shall reserve a description of it till a later period, when it became the object of a separate excursion. The high land, which had receded near Moulin to form the wide basin of Anhee, closes again p 2 186 BOUTIGXES.
