To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Its frame was of oak, rough hewn, to be sure, but firm and durable. The thick, unplaned boards of the exterior, overlapped each other in a workman-like manner, ren- dering shingles or clapboards unnecessary. True, the weather soon warped them to a degree that made it necessary to use considerable seaweed and clay in filling the interstices to defend against the blasts of winter ; and this made it look a little like a beggar who bad run a race and strained open the scams of his garments : but th...en there were few eyes around that were accustomed to look upon more comely architec- ture. The habitation faced due south; a peculiarity of location quite common in those daj's. It enabled the occupant to secure the greatest benefit of the sun in winter, and to keep the time of day by marks on the window sill. The luxury of time pieces was then almost unknown ; and the sun and shepherd's clock had important duties to perform beyond those expect- ed of them in the present age, when their usefulness in horometry has been superseded by the ingenuity of our Connecticut brethren.
