To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We found that some hill servants, whom we had greatly trusted, had systematically robbed us. The character for honesty was, I believe, given to them because when they set out on their periodical migration tothe plains they left their villages unguarded, and found their propertysafe on their return. I suppose this resulted partly from anunwritten--may I say?--honourable understanding, that as in their sparseand widely-scattered population it was well-nigh impossible to guardtheir goods, the righ...ts of property should be respected; and partly fromthe circumstance that there was little left behind in the villages whichcould be carried away. So far as others, especially Europeans, areconcerned, this understanding to practise honesty does not hold. We incidentally heard of no small degree of immorality among the people, but our information is too limited to justify one in comparing them withothers in this respect. There is much that is likable among them, butthe general moral tone is undoubtedly low.
