To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
71 glistens with prismatic splendors in the sunlight. Truly, the care which has been bestowed upon the Common has been amply repaid. Two of the walks in Boston were formerly designated by the names Great Mall and Little Mall. The Great Mall borders the eastern edge of the Common, and the Little Mall the eastern edge of the Granary or Park Street burying ground. The last named was planted with English elms by Colonel Adino Paddock, in 1770. They are therefore more than eighty years old. The tree...s in the Great Mall were planted, as appears from the plans, between 1722 and 1729. Those that remain are therefore about one hundred and thirty years old. The trees on the Little Mall were a mixture of elms and buttonwoods. Mr. Paddock was a loyalist, left Boston in 1776, and set- tled in Nova Scotia, where his descendants still live. The Great Elm is one of the lions — perhaps the lion — of Boston Common. Still hale and strong, it stands about the centre of the green, and is supposed, from various data, to be upwards of two hundred years old.
