To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is said, and I believe with truth, that it loses a joint of its tail every time it expends its poison. The cobra is par excellence the sacred snake amongst Hindoos and Buddhists, and with the latter has attained that enviable position from a myth of its having with its hood shaded Buddha, when sleeping, from the sun. It must have been a " pretty considerable tall snake that, and no mistake. " The Cingalese believe that there is a world full of cobras, whose forms are tenanted by the souls of... men, who, in life, had been free from every vice but malice : they are Buddhists in faith, worship in temples, reside in furnished houses, and enjoy society, living on the best of " chicken fixings, " — they may, in fact, have any variety of food they can desire, with this peculiarity, that it must always assume the form of a frog. They have a king, who is the biggest ; and they retain the distinctions of high and low caste ; the light- coloured snakes constituting the former, the darker ones, the latter.
