To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
T this instant the dancers commence a sort of shuffling step, during which the feet do not slide along the ground, but make, with great rapidity, a number of short stampings. At the moment of this change in time, the dancers dart forward towards each other, waving their handkerchiefs affectedly before them. They do not actually meet, but, when, almost touching, pass, and continue to revolve round each other, in circles larger or smaller, according to the space al- lowed, accompanying these rota...tory motions by various ges- ticulations, especially that of waving their handkerchiefs over their partner's head. There was a striking difference between the manner in which these dances were performed by the towns- people, and by the Guassos, or countrymen, the latter having always the advantage both in skill and in elegance. " These amusements lasted throughout the night, and, al- though the people are naturally temperate, it was evident, that towards morning the dances were apt to acquire a more sav- age character, and the songs to become licentious.
