To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the rear was Hoogh straat, or the road to the ferry, our present Stone street. Behind the Herberg, on the Hoogh straat, was its neat Httle garden, where grew the cabbage, dear to the Dutchman's heart, and many a flower, caught and tamed from surrounding wilds. Through the garden there was a path and an entrance gate from the Hoogh straat. In front, no South or Front street then intervened. But directly to the view shone the bright waters of the river and bay, and the green hills of Breuckele...n and the wavine foliage on Nooten Island rose in the distance and bound the rural scene. The waters then rolled freely against the shore, soon thereafter confined to prevent their wearing action by the Schoeijng, or sheathing of boards, whence the front- ing street was called t' Waal or Lang f Waal. Of substantial stone was the Herberg, about fifty feet square and three stories high. The row of little win- dows in the roof, and the gables rising in successive steps, recalled the architecture of Old Amsterdam.
