To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
221 of the death of his nephew ; but he seemed not to feel this slight blow in his terror of the dreadful but undefined calamity which he felt to be impending over him and the whole family, and he trotted on his road. Soon after an infant son of their uncle died of the same disease ; and the whole town be- came at once divided into two parties those who held that the children had been killed by Davey as a punishment for Ham Kishen's presuming to leave Jubbulpore before they recovered; and those... who held that they were killed by the god Vishnoo him- self, for having been so rudely deprived of one of his arms. Khoshal Chund's wife sickened on the road, and died on reaching Mirzapore, of fever; and as Davey was supposed to have nothing to do with fevers, this event greatly augmented the advocates of Vishnoo. It is a rule with Hindoos to bury, and not to bum, the bodies of those who die of the small- pox ; " for, " say they, " the small-pox is not only caused by the goddess Davey, but is, in fact, Davey herself; and to burn the body of the person affected with this disease is, in reality, neither more nor less than to burn the goddess !
