To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The horses that drew the carriages appeared the most commendable part of the equipment. We saw no infantry troops in the country, nor any regularly drilled or equipped regiments. In fact the DXESS OF THE AND1JAN SOLDIER. 319 troops all ride, and in the battle field dismount to fight. And in their fighting, or marching costume they are droll objects to the unaccustomed eye. All their loose flowing robes are tucked into the capacious overalls which are fastened about the waist tightly, and give t...he wearer the appearance of a bolster tied in the middle, and toddling about on two short stumps. However unsoldierly the appearance of the men, the dress is not without its merits in the country. It keeps the body warm, and admits of the riders tumbling off from, and into their saddles with surprising agility.. CHAPTER X. ON Christmas eve the Amir sent each of us a lambskin juba covered with Khocand silk. No two were alike in the bold patterns of their designs, and, enveloped in their comfortable folds, we might easily have passed muster as part of his own body guard, if we could but sit on our heels without moving, and look solemn with- out speaking by the hour together.
