To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The injudicious situation of the streets fronting the water, has very much retarded the prosperity of the town, and prevented its being, as was intended, the depot for the district contiguous to the Muskingum. On every rise of the water, the front houses are inutadated, even to the second story ; an inconvenience which, at the distance of six or seven hundred yards from the river they would have been exempt from. Two brick churches, rather handsome structures, a bank, court-house, land- office,... log-jail, and many good, even elegant private buildings, (in some of which, letters pro- cured me very polite attentions), and you have a description of Marietta. On the opposite or right bank of the Muskingum, are the remains of Fort Harmar ; and on the left, near the town the atten- tion of the curious is engaged by the remains of fortifications, concerning whose origin even tradi- tion itself is silent, and conjecture is baffled. They were certainly the works of a people acquainted with the rules of active and defensive warfare.
