To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The present aspect of the place is any- thing but quiet and retired. South from Mr. Eonald and beyond a deep ra\'ine which the supplementary Gallego mills are now partly filling up, on the summit of a cliff overhanging the river and overlooking Haxall's mills, stands a wooden building, the former residence of the celebrated David Eoss, the original owner of the mill, a Scotch mer- chant anterior to the Eevolution. He became the possessor of most valuable land'^, and mines in various parts of Vi...rginia, when Virginia was bounded by the Mississippi, and some of his descendants now reside, I believe, on a portion of his territories in the western re- gions, no longer in the Old Dominion. Mr. Eoss was remarkable for his unerring judg- ment of the talents of others. I must travel beyond the former limits of the city to mention a territory now partly in- cluded in them. I mean the lands and for- mer residence of a most worthy citizen and enterprising merchant, the late Mr. Thomas Eutherfoord.
