To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is also a " Rorqual " of the Southern seas, an animal of great power and a fast swimmer, very difficult to capture. The most valuable whale in the Southern seas is the Cachalot or Sperm whale, which supplies the spermaceti and amber- gris of commerce. This immense animal, which grows to the length of seventy to eighty feet, is found in almost every part of the warm latitudes. It has some curious peculiar- ities : the head has in front a very thick, blunt extremity called the snout or nose..., and constitutes one-third of the whole length of the animal ; at its junction with the body, the animal has what the whalers call a " bunch of the neck, " a large protuberance en the back, immediately behind which is the thickest part of the body, which from this part grad- ually tapers off to the tail ; and where this commences there is another large prominence called the " hump " after which the body contracts so much as to become finally not thicker than the body of a man. An immense cavity in the head contains cells filled w^ith oil, which is fluid when the animal is alive, and after its death takes a concrete form known as spermaceti.
