To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At that period, the storks resort thither in immense multitudes, and devour the serpents, frogs, and mice, which., without this dreadful carnage, would be highly noxious to the inhabitants. Beion, a most ingenious and faithful French naturalist, remarks, that in many places the land could not be inhabited, if the storks did not destroy the amazing numbers of mice which frequently appear in Palestine, and otheir parts of the East bordering upon Egypt. The Egyptian vulture, says Hasselquist, is o...f singular benefit to that country. It eats up all the dung, and oflfals in the towns, and the carcass- es of camels, hordes, asses, ^c, in the fields, which, if not quickly devoured, would, in that warm climate, by their pu- trescency, be productive of disease and death to the inhab- itant* Putrid carcasses, in all countries, are both offensive to the nostrils and hurtful to health. But Nature, by various instruments, soon removes the evil. An animal no soonei dies, than, in a very short time, he is conjsumed by bears, wolves, foxes, dogs, and ravens.
