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

They are all connected with the i)art placed by tlie island in making the St. Croix an international boundary. In the first place, it was this settlement, with its important and its sad out- come, which made the Island of St. Croix known to mankind, and which caused this river to appear as an important locality upon every subsecjuent map of the New World. Now a very curious, and forever imi)ortant, residt followed fium this latter fact. Only 4U two years after de Monts' settlement on the island..., King James I gave a patent to an English oomijany, the Plymouth Company, permitting it to form settlements on the coast of Virginia, any- where between thirty-eight and forty-five degrees, thus fixing the northern boundary of Virginia at the parallel of forty-five degrees. It was under this patent that Jamestown was com- menced in 1607. In 1613, as we have seen, the English drove the French from Acadia, and in 1620, when the king gave a new charter to the Plymouth Company, its northern boundary was extended to forty-eight degrees (a part of the present northern boundary of New Brunswick, as it happens), doing this, without doubt, not because the Company was in immediate need of more land, but to assert a formal English claim to all Acadia.
