To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Queensboro', or Blackwell's Island Bridge, which carries Fifty-ninth Street across the East River, is not a leaping span. It is a cantilever structure, a huge maze of steel, which straddles off the Manhattan cliffs to Blackwell's Island with a seven league boot stride, and then steps again to the Long Island shore, and seems to stretch over the lowlands to infinity. The top of this bridge is pinnacled like a Siamese palace, and it gains an added impressiveness from the old brick dwellings w...hich sit on the cliff beside it, and the long, low struc- tures beneath it on Blackwell's Island. Some dark, omi- 30 NEW YORK nous day when thunder threatens, stand upon the Man- hattan clifT, where Fifty-eighth Street ends in a quaint court of forgotten houses, the relics of a Pomander Walk.

The barred prison buildings are distinct and forbidding on their long checkerboard of green.
