To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are not only days, but weeks, when the skies are indescribably glorious. The Nile Valley is not so sweetly balmy, Southern Italy not so rich in mellow splendor. The golden sunshine permeates every pore, quickens every pulse of life. The air has an indefinable softness and sweetness — a tonic quality that braces the nerves to a joyous tension, making the very sense of existence a delight. The contrast of temperature between summer and winter is less apparent than real. The remarkable equab...ility of the climate will appear from the follow- ing: In June, 1874, the highest thermometer was 67°, the lowest, 58°; in January of the same year, the highest was 59°, the lowest, 54°. In December, the range was between 60° and 52°; in August it was between 68° and 60°. San Francisco begins to talk of its Park. It is a [31 ] crude affair as yet, but promises great things. It comprises about 1, 100 acres, and extends from the western limit of the city to the sea. It commands a series of magnificent views, taking in a vast pano- rama of ocean, bay, mountain and plain.
