To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Leaving Acajeti, we reached, after a march of eight miles, the village of Amozoque, renowned as being the chief place for the manu facture of Mexican spurs in the Republic. The place is rather pretty, and the steel and silver ornaments of their bits and spurs show more 27 mechanical skill in working iron than I have seen in any other place in the country. We encamped for the night at the beautiful Alameda of Puebla. Puebla is a fine city, built in the Spanish style, with regular streets and han...dsome houses. It contains about eighty thousand inhabitants, and is one of the cleanest places in Mexico. The cathedral is a magnificent structure with two square towers the loftiest in Mexico which are gracefully proportioned and cons tructed of cut stone. The plaza is rather small, but the buildings fronting upon it are exceedingly handsome. The interior of the cathedral is richly decorated with the gorgeous, but barbaric taste manifested in the ecclesiastical edifices throughout Mexico. I found placarded upon its doors many "Avisos a los Fieles", or notices to the faithful, which were rather amusing to a Protestant.
