To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And if rain should set in, they will most generally desert the THE PARTRIDGE. 105 open fields entirely, and take to the woods and thickets for pro- tection. " Or when the country floats with sudden rains, Or driving mists deface the moistened plains, In vain his toils the unskilful fowler tries, While in thick woods the feeding partridge lies. " If the weather has been dry and warm for several days previous to going out, it will be perfect folly to hunt on the hills where there is a scarcity of... water. And, in like manner, if the season has been wet, it will be equally irrational to wade through the low grounds, as these birds neither affect very dry situations nor wet localities, but, on the contrary, prefer rich stubble-fields in the immediate vicinity of a clear running stream, to which they love to resort to quench their thirst after the morning's feeding, and preen themselves for a while in the noonday sun. If the weather be boisterous and windy, without rain, partridges may most fre- quently be found on the edge of close cover, or on the sides of rising ground, where they betake themselves for shelter.
