To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was highly impor'ant for the Americans that no ambiguity should be left as to which of these two rivers was to be the boun- darv, because the Passamaquoddy is much more westward than the rivernow called the St. Croix, and they would have lost much territory if the western of the two St. Croixes had been taken as the boundary. In order, therefore, to leave no doubt whether it was the Atlantic St. Croix or the Bay of Fundy St. Croix, that was to be chosen, they took care to specify the river t...hey meant, as beino- the St. Croix which had '■^ its mouth in the Bay of Fundy ;^^ and surely if the distinction between the Bay of Fundy and the Atlantic Ocean was to be established in one sentence of the treaty for the benefit of the Fnited States, that distinction must be maintained in another sentence where it turns for tlie benefit of Great Britain. But if any doubt could have been entertained upon this subject, that doubt is removed by the wording even of the Ashburton^cnpitulation ; for the negotiators, as if to render the surrender which il contains still more humiliating to England, imbody in their d*'Scription of the new line of boundary an admission of the original claim of England.
