To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Along the sides of the dull, brown mountains there is a suspicion of verdure, spotted and striped here and there with meagre woods of birch and fir. The glory of this hard region Is its coast : a wonderful perplexity of fiords, bays and creeks, islands, peninsulas and capes, endlessly picturesque, and very often magnifi- cently grand. Nothing can well exceed the liMidlands and precipices, honeycombed, shattered, and hollowed out into vast caverns, and given up to the thunders and the ftary of t...he deep-sea billows. . . . The brooks that flow from the highlands, and j%tll over clifls of great elevation into the very surf, and that would be counted features of grandeur in some countries, are here the merest trifles, a kind of jewelry on the hem of the landscape.^' (Nobls.) *' The first view of the harbor of St. John^s is very striking Lc^y pfrsdpitons cliffs, of liard dark-red sandstone and conglomerate, range along thie coast, with deep water close at their feet. Their beds plunge from a height of 4(>&-700 ft., at an angle of 70°, right into the sea, where they are ceaselessly dashed against by the unbroken swell of the Atlantic waves " (J ukss ) 52.
