To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There was then no fire in front of the proscenium ; and it was his opinion that the fire was placed on the stage or near the scenes, in less than half an hour from the time he first saw it. Such was the general opinion ; because fire does not smoulder long in the neighborhood of theatrical scenery, before it runs like a lighted train of gunpowder. The Chief Engineer said tlmt before the fire burst through the box doors, and within fifteen minutes of its discovery, he saw it breaking through at ...the back of the theatre. He warned all the people living in the rear to clear out, because in less than five minutes after the fire broke out in the rear, he saw the miserably flimsy wall cracking and yielding in every part, unable to bear the weight of the roof. And before the inmates of the house of ill-fame in the rear, kept by Julia Brown, had time to make their escape, the wall gave way and fell on the back part of the house, killing one girl named Margaret Yager, aged 16, who had recently arrived from Philadelphia.
