To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was drawn a num- ber of years before it was quilted, by an Hungarian exile, a follower of Kossuth, who had drifted to this country, and who turned his native talent of music into a profession, and gave lessons to support himself. He drew a number of these patterns for his pupils, and this one embodies both America and Hungary. In the centre is the eagle of his adopted country, with the thirteen stars above and "E Pluribus Unum" below, and in the corners is an Hungarian motif. Above and below... the eagle are graceful cornucopias, but whether they were symbolic of the plenty that he found in his adopted country or of what he hoped for his native land, tradition has never told me. The second is a quilted counterpane, too, and this adorns such a slender, fluted mahogany "four- poster" with a field canopy. The work is less fine, 14!2 COLLECTOR'S LUCK but it is very nearly as handsome; if I liked to apply so very modern a word as "stunning" to an old counterpane, I think I might call it that.
