To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At different distances in the water are long poles, which have been thrust in with a view to point out the propepr fording-place ; but, as theii* position Digitized byVjOOQlC 240 * ]^DAFLIOT. is only known to those who live in the neighbouthood, thef are more apt to decoy a stranger into perils than furnish him with a safe direction. Just as I was on the eve of altering the water, with the intention of crossing it above the poles yet as close to them as possible, it was forded by a lad from the... opposite side, who directed me- to keep below the pcde^ as the bottom above them was full of' deep holes and rents, and absolutely unfordable. I was now able ,to account for the shouting of the people at a farm I had passed, but who, as I did not give any heed to them, must have supposed I was acquainted with the danger. Having got safely over, I rode on to Hnausar, the abode of Sira Jon Jonson, who immedialely changed his clothes^ and saddhng his horse, accompanied me in order to guide me across the Kudafliot, the broadest river in Icdand.* By the way, our conversation naturally turned upon the situa- tion of his parishioners with respect to the Scriptures ; and I learned, with concern, that though his parish contains a population of more than S50 souls, not more than six fiuni- lies are in possession of a Bible.
