To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Several galleries devoted to zoology, botany, and miner- alogy. 3. A menagerie rich in wild animals. 4. A library of natural history. 5. An amphitheatre for gratuitous lectures on all branches of science. This is capable of containing 1 200 persons, and 1 800 are in attendance on the various courses. The gardens are of vast extent. The School of Botany contains the plants whose characters may be known by the tickets attached to them. The red tickets denote medicinal plants ; the green the alime...ntary ; the blue those for the arts ; the yellow the ornamental, and the black the poisonous. On a mound, called the Labyrinth from its intri- cate windings, there is a magnificent cedar of Lebanon, which was presented to Jussieu by Collinson, of England, in 1734. It is still in full vigor. At six feet from the ground, it is ten and a half feet in circumference. Its broad-spreading horizontal branches, so numerous, and thickly studded with sombre ever- green spiculae, extend far and wide, shading a large area, and enabled us to understand and to realize how grand and glorious was once the venerable Libanus, adorned by forests of its own native cedars.
