To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
You now commence a steep and winding ascent, whence you hear the Arve roaring along at the bottom, and pass through the hamlet of Chede, and close to the very small but pretty lake of the same name. Night had now almost drawn her sable curtain, but Mont Blanc reflected sufficient light, I had almost said, to render the " darkness visible, " but this would be misapplying the happy idea of our great bard. We passed sometimes through tangled forests inhabited by wolves, bears, and chamois, and som...etimes dashed through torrents which, descending from one precipice, traversed our road, and then rushed down another at our side, and close to the brink of which our route lay. Under these circumstances, our mountain journey, over a route unknown to us, had an impressive and half terrific character. About mid-way, we stop- ped for a short time to refresh the horses at a rustic village, where some of my companions, con- trary to my advice, took some eau-de-vie, to for- tify themselves against the mountain air.
