To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It has a population of about four and one half millions, of which about one-fourth live in and immediately adjoining Colombo. Kandy, the ancient capital of the Singhaleese, and about 75 miles from the coast, in the heart of a mountain range, can boast of half a million. The original white settlements were by the Portuguese and Dutch, but after the English acquired India they traded Java to the Dutch for Ceylon, and the island is known as a crown colony. I do not understand that England actually... takes money in the shape of taxes from the people of Ceylon, but in some way the colony is not so independent as Canada. The government (of Ceylon) owns the railway system of the island, which is said to have cost the most per mile of any rail- way in the world and to be the best paying of any in the world. From Colombo to Kandy we were fortunate enough to travel in both directions in the same compartment with the railway com- pany's inspector, Mr. Van Buren, who gave us considerable very interesting information.
