To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For several hours, the same scenery surrounded me, only varied by the occasional appearance of clustres of negro huts. Than these, it is impos- sible to imagine any species of huts or dwellings more beautifully picturesque. They are con- structed of strong limbs of trees, thatched over with straw, and usually ending in a cone ; having no windows, but only two, or sometimes four doors, for the purpose of admitting a free current of air. The spots chosen for then* erection, are generally small pl...atforms or terraces in the sides of the hills. A little path, similar to that along which I tra- velled, winds down from their doors to the bottom of the valley, and conducts to the edge of the river, from whence the inhabitants are supplied "vvith water. Other tracks likewise branch off in different directions, some towards the summit, and others along the sides of the mountains ; leading, probably, to the fields or spots where the inhabit- ants labour. These huts have no chimney, but only a large hole in the roof, to give free passage to the smoke ; and I could perceive, by its rise at present, that fires were now burning.
