To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
During the day we came into the cactus section. All the time the scenery has been grand. I had gone a hundred and twelve li that day, walked all the way, TOMBS OF THE MING DYNASTY 153 and still found myself fresh. Twenty li north of Sing- gee Pin, where I was to spend the night in the Great- Large-Prospect Inn, is the village of all ears, Pu Erh Tu, where are some of the tombs of the Ming Dy- nasty. There is a remarkable one near the village. Among a large number of tombs some have been built a...t great expense; one cost over ten thousand ounces of silver, and contains the body of a chieftain and his six quiet wives. The interior is of fine design, the roof arched, and the sides of carved lattice work. The entrance is into a chamber, then follow a succession of chambers, the corridor being through carved arch- ways which present a fine appearance. These tombs are in out-of-the-way places, to avoid being destroyed, the barbarous custom of one dynasty, upon coming into power, being to destroy the tombs of the former dynasty.
