To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Potosi, which could then boast of 150, 000 in- habitants, sixty churches, many costly public buildings and a great mint, has now a rather melancholy and dilapidated air. The mint, constructed of timber dragged from Oran in Argentina, stands to this day, sprawling over two city blocks. Many of the churches still survive in a less perfect state of preservation, and the twenty-two artificial lakes, constructed in 162 1 on the heights which dominate the city, give evidence of the number and importa...nce of the workings to which it was their purpose to supply water ; but of the almost fabulous wealth and the fame which was Potosi's, little remains but the memory. Yet though the ancient glories of their city have departed, the citizens of Potosi seem keenly alive to its future possibilities, and 138 BOLIVIA 139 are looking forward to the completion of the new railway which will connect the town with the main Bolivian railways and open their mineral resources to the world. Bolivia, like her most famous city, perhaps, finds more satisfaction in the contemplation of what the future has in store for her than in brooding over the past.
