To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The novelty of the scene was scarcely diminished by a further inspection ; which may appear a contradiction in terms, but is not so in reality. The multitude of ideas caused by the first view of such an astonishing crowd of new and curious objects, obscures and confuses the observation, in a certain sense, and prevents us from distinguishing one part from another.
