To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here and there some prominent point offers command- ing views of the surrounding country, where observatories can be located, con- servatories built for exotic plants, and geometrical flower-gardens planted. Back from the stream some level plateaus extend, which can be appropriately em- ployed for zoological and botanical gardens, grounds for play and parade, and many other useful purposes. The map shows the most desirable localities, the surveys having been made in great detail. The lay of the... land is such that it admits of thorough drainage, and the nature of the soil offers all the facilities for building good roads ; the granite and limestone rocks which are found outcropping at different points wilt furnish the materials for their superstructure, In fact, every facility is offered for laying out and constructing a grand national park. The questions now arise as to what should be the extent of the proposed work, and the probable price of the land. As it should be one worthy the capital of the nation, and as the ground can be secured at a reasonable price before being* occupied by costly suburban villas, it is respectfully recommended to the honor- able committee to purchase at once a sufficient number of acres bordering on Rock creek to anticipate the future growth of the city and its increased population.
