To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Plymouth Colony landed in New England without a charter, and the event will never be the less significant on that account. 5. The Popham Colony "came to an end within a year, by reason of the death of its two chief supporters." Did it ever occur to " Sabino," that his Colony must have had a very slender foundation to have fallen in ruins at the death of two, out of a hundred and twenty, persons engaged in it ? The Plymouth Colony lost by death, in four months after the landing, fifty-one ou...t of one hundred and two, and still the Colony lived.
