To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
During the heat of the day we read, write, and take a siesta, dine just before sundown, and then, in the cool of the day, we take another trip on shore. The fine moonlight evenings we spend upon the deck in conversation, rehearsing over the adventures of the day. We retire at ten o'clock, the gentlemen to sleep, and my- self to make notes, and occasionally to hold sweet commun- ion with friends far away, where the evening star, sinking below the sands of Africa, points towards the land of the W...est and the home of the free. A few hours of this de- lightful occupation cause me to forget the fatigues of the day, the distance from friends, the dangers I have past and those I have yet before me, and then a sound, sweet, and refreshing sleep prepares me for the duties of another day. The whole working together for good, so that pleasure and health, amusement and instruction, are the result of every revolution of the sun. The second day after our departure we saw on our left the quarries whence a considerable part of the materials for the three great Pyramids were taken, and in which it is said a portion of the children of Israel were employed to hew stone when " there rose up a new king over Egypt who knew not Joseph." The immense pyramid of unburned bricks on our right was, no doubt, the work of another por- tion of the oppressed Israelites, whose lives the taskmasters of the same Pharaoh made " bitter with hard bondage in mortar and in brick ;" and when they murmured against their hard fate, the command of the tyrant was followed out to the letter.
