To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Governor Anthony Palmer, " so called in his latter years, was a wealthy gentleman who came from the West Indies about the year 1709, and lived in a style suited to his circumstances, keeping a coach, then a great luxury, and a pleasure barge, by which he readily made his visits from Shackamaxon to the city. He was said to have had 21 children by his first wife, all of whom died of consumptions; some of his descendants b}^ a second wife are now residents of Phila- delpliia. The present aged co...lonel A. J. Morris told me that he heard old Mr. Tatnal say, that Governor Palmer offered him a great extent of Kensington lots on the River Street at six pence a foot ground-rent forever, — a small sum for our present conceptions of its value, clianging as the whole scene now is to a city form, filling with houses, cutting down eminences, and filling up some lower places* to the general level, ^a change, on the wliole, not unlike what must have been the superficial change originally effected at Philadelphia.
