To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A slave is fed by his master while he U workbg for him, but at other times he must feed lumself. No purchase-money is paid for him by his owner. No one is allowed to catch the wild elephants which are to be found within a few Eiephjoi.. days' journey of the town except those who are appointed by the Chief, and if a captive elephant dies the tusks must be sold to the Chief at a fixed rate. During the first three days of our stay we went daily to sec the cremation Cr^m.'mn ceremonies, which took ...place in the open space in front of the Palace, the Chief and his cer. m.,u.e.. sons looking on from bamboo sheds erected for the purpose. The first da^ we saw some boxing by young Laos, yhich the people seemed never tired of watching. Some novel features to Europeans were the postures and grimaces which seemed to be considered an essential part of the fighting, and the use of the feet, in which some of the combatants were rather dexterous, occasionally dealing their antagonists a smart blow in the face with them.
