To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Upon this a musket with small shot was fired at hislegs, on which he scampered off to the huts. It was hoped that thecontest was now over, and accordingly the English stepped on the shoreof that vast territory which was to become the heritage of millions ofthe Anglo-Saxon race. Still the savage was not subdued, and appearedonce more with a shield on his arm, and advancing, made one moresignificant protest against the intrusion of the white man, by hurling aspear into the very midst of the stran...gers. Happily, no one was hurt, and a third musket loaded with small shot being fired at them, afteranother spear had been thrown by one of the brave natives, they bothtook to flight, and the English claimed to be, by right of conquest, thelords of the soil. They might have pursued and overtaken the savages, but Mr Banks suggested that the spears were possibly poisoned, and thatit would be imprudent to venture into the woods.
On entering one of the huts some little children were seen partiallyconcealed, but they were not disturbed, and when the English went away, some beads, ribbons, and pieces of cloth were left in the huts aspresents, which it was hoped would gain the goodwill of the natives.
