To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some time afterwards, wandering near the scene of his operations, he saw an immense carving of a pike placed upon a pole near the margin of the water, and painted beautifully : he guessed he had seen him before. Let us now return to the Scotch rivers. The Tay, which rises from, and is approximated by, vast and desolate regions of moss and moor, preserves its volume of water much longer than those rivers that have their sources in a more pastoral and agricultural country, and of course is much l...onger in good order for fly fishing. But when the black clouds burst over the vast wilder- ness of mountains, a hundred torrents gleam on all sides, rush down the rocky ravines, and change the burns into turbulent rivers, which pour their floods into the mighty channel of the Tay : thus this river probably carries more water to the ocean than any other in Great Britain. I have read much of the rapids of the great rivers in America, and the difficulty of steering and shooting down them in safety ; and the accom- paniments of the scenery, and the descriptions of these cataracts, have always appeared to me singularly wild and picturesque.
