To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some conspicuous object is placed among the caparisons of a beautiful horse or camel, that the eye of the passer-by may be attracted to it, and so withdrawn from the horse or camel. The entire dress of a Nubian young lady consists of a fringe of shredded leather, two or three inches deep, worn round the loins. On the upper ridge of this fringe two or three bunches of small white cowries are fastened. The traveller might at first, and probably generally does, suppose that this is merely a piece ...of coquetry, inspired by the desire to attract attention. The truth is quite the reverse. The white shells against the ebon skin are, it is true, intended to attract attention — not at all, how- ever, in the way of coquetry, but from the opposite wish, that the eye of the passer-by may be attracted to the shells, and thus the wearer may herself escape the effects of the evil-coveting eye. " Lord Lytton writes : — " This superstition still flourishes in Magna Grcecia with scarcely diminished vigour.
