To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I was told that it was called the Island of Nativity ; a most dreary, desolate spot, where no one wished to reside; that all who found themselves here, immediately launched in boats, which floated down from above, into the river of life, which was rolling its waters before me ; that none ever returned to occupy their former residence, since of those, who thus ventured, some were landed in flowery gardens, on a happier shore ; and as for the others, they perished down a tremendous cataract at th...e end of the river : I was told further, that the channel of the river was winding and intricate ; crossed by many counter-currents and rocks, which increased the danger ; that none of the navigators could be relied on as pilots, since none ever navigated it but once ; and that, consequently, vast numbers ultimately perished. Amidst these dreary considerations, however, there was one com- fort. A great Benefactor had, in compassion to the miserable voyageis, drawn an accurate chart of the river ; by duly attending to which, all who wished, might escape destruction.
