To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A halo of romance surrounded the very names of India, Australia, and the South Seas, and the stories of stirring life under eastern and southern skies came to the ear like tidings from another world. But now, the conditions of travelling by both land and sea have been so completely changed that the inhabi- tants of the Antipodes have become in a sense our near neighbours. The development of international commerce, establishing business and friendly relations between different peoples, has had a...n influence beyond any other in destroying racial hatreds and jealousies, and guaranteeing the peace of the world. Such being the effects of the introduction of steam navigation, it would be difficult to over-estimate the benefits which it has conferred upon mankind. It is, therefore, a proud distinction which this village enjoys of having been the birth-place of steam naviga- tion. When the world-wide importance of the discovery had begun to be realised, a controversy arose among the several persons who appear to have been associated in the original experiments culminating in the first successful voyage under steam which took place on the little loch at Dalswin- ton on October 14th, 1788 as to which of them was entitled to the honour of having first made this great and momentous discovery.
