To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It will not do to say that the hunters have abstained from killing anise-seed bags in order to avoid the premature extirpation of the animal. Although our most learned naturalists were until recently unaware of the existence of the anise-seed bag on Long Island, there can be no doubt that the 108 SHOOTING STARS. animal is abundant in Queens and Suffolk Counties. In every instance the dogs have struck the scent without any difficulty. This shows conclusively that the covers of Long Island are fu...ll of anise- seed bags, and refutes the pretext that the hunters forbear to kill because they fear that the animal will be exterminated. It is, perhaps, hardly worth while to notice the ludicrous mistake made by certain provincial papers, that the anise-seed bag is a literal cloth bag, filled with a supposed substance called anise-seed, and dragged on the ground by a mounted groom. The absurdity of this supposition is glaringly apparent. Is it probable that a dozen or more men would ride after a pack of hounds in pursuit of a miserable prosaic bag?
