To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Four acres was the allotted space of ground Fenc'd with a green enclosure all around Tall thriving trees confessed the fruitful mould The reddenning apple ripens into gold. Here the blue fig with luscious jure o'er flows ; With deeper red the full pomegranate glows; The branch here bends beneath the weighty pear, The verdant olives flourish round the year, Beds of .'til various kinds, forever green, In beauteous order terminate the scene. As society advanced in refinement and luxury, a taste fo...r ornamental gardening was gradually de- veloped, cultivated and displayed, among the Greeks, the Romans, the Persians, and the Chi- nese. But it was not till the commencement«of the 18th century, that this art began to claim the attention of men of taste and wealth in Europe The improvements which have been made in it, have been properly attributed to the natural pro- gress of art and refinement, aided by descriptions of Chinese gardens and the rich and vivid delinia- tions of natural scenery abounding in the ancient and modern poets.
