To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I do not know whether it is from the intensity of the sun's beams, or from want of cleanliness ; but in Corsica there are a good many people with sore eyes. In Sagone the people seemed to be distinguished by being one-eyed. The landlady, and the girl who helped her — almost everybody but curate and custom- house officers — ^were one-eyed. The blacksmith was a genuine Polyphemus. But all — officers included — had an eye-single to our comfort. No pay would they accept. They pressed us to remain ;... forced on us wine, cheese, and bread ; and after many regrets, we left them to dash through four hours of descent into Ajaccio. From this round trip, which I have described, made at an unpropitious season, but made very pleasant by unceasmg hospitality, my readers may glean some- thing about this island not to be found in any other way, or in any book. We propose to make visits to other towns over the island, over the mountains again to Bastia ; through Corte, the ancient capital ; thence to Calvi ; thence again, after returning to Bastia, to the South, through the chestnut land, to Bonifacia.
