To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some crimes, such as adultery, are punished with much severity in a poor man; but a Chief can do as he likes in these matters. No law can punish him. But his offence is treasured up in the minds of his people, and if the opportunity should ever offer they will take vengeance in their own way. Such a thing as conscientious morality is scarcely to be found. If they are good, it is generally for the same reason that they are wicked, namely, from the natural selfish- ness of their own minds. If the... desired end may be obtained by speaking the truth, they will do so ; but, if not, they will lie : and so in everything else, virtue is a mere instrument of selfishness. They have seeming good qualities, but no one will depend on them who knows their real nature. They can lay aside honesty, kindness, &c. , as easily as their dress, if necessary; and be one moment as gentle as a lamb, and the next as ferocious as a tiger. The extremes of their character are very striking. You would not think that the fine, generous man you are conversing with would go home and enjoy a piece of human flesh, or imbrue his hands with pleasure in the blood of defenceless women and children; and yet such is the fact.
