To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
turn paler at the sound.
Young.
The great and holy city of Benares has been too frequently, and too ably described, to require in these pages any detailed account of its character and general appearance. Aurungzebe's towering mosque, out-top- ping the thousand Hindoo temples, the gilded domes, the painted cupolas, and strangely diverse forms of spire and turret, together with the noble flights of steps, the hanging balconies and terraced ghats, have been the favourite theme of each successive t...raveller who has visited this famous spot. Benai'es is the centre point of Hindoo wealth, of Hindoo traffic, of Hindoo learning and science, of Hindoo display, and of Hindoo superstition, fanaticism, and crime.
All these are here made to assume the most imposing forms, and are calculated to astonish and disgust the European, no less than they delude the credulous Hindoo. I remember to have seen in the writings BENARES. 83 of some traveller — the Abbe Dubois, I think — a hu- mourous division of the Hindoo population into two classes, the dupes and the impostors; the former embracing all the various castes except one, and the latter, the Brahmins, fonning that exception.
