To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A third, when she is endeavouring to tear her hair, tears off leaves, one complains that her legs are held fast by the trunk of a tree, another that her arms are becoming long branches. " The scientific explanation of the gem, now, is that, in the tertiary period, a tree, now extinct, but apparently a kind of pine, grew upon the earth. The gum or resin of this tree ran very freely, and made large deposits in the stratum to which the tree belongs. These trees grew upon the shores, and a great de...al of amber is found on the shores of the Baltic ; ages have of course so modified the gum that it is now completely hardened as we see it. This variety is usually a clear yellow, pure in colour ; but in Sicily the amber is of a far greater variety in shades. It is very light in weight, the fossilization not having added to its specific gravity. It is also found in Roumania ; and there it is often a deep colour, like tortoiseshell. Most of the yellow amber comes from Prussia and Pomerania on the Baltic.
