To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The distance is now 2, 400 miles in favour of New York, or a total gain to that port of nearly /S SEAWAYS OF THE EMPIRE 4, 000 miles, or over a fortnight's steaming for a ten-knot cargo boat.
In comparing the two routes, the Cape and Panama, we must not forgot to deduct the Panama Canal dues from the amount saved on the voyage through the reduced steaming distance. This would amount, perhaps, to the cost of run- ning the steamer for ten to twelve days. The deduction for Suez Canal dues is about
... the same. None the less, the gain by the new route remains considerable. Ade- laide is now rather nearer to New York than to Liverpool, but we may take it as marking our point of indifference for ships coming by the east or the west, from the two competing ports. Australia, east of this point, is now nearer to New York than to Liverpool ; whereas, formerly, the whole of Australia was 1, 500 miles nearer to Liver- pool, and ships from both sides of the North Atlantic approached Australia from the west.
