To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

II We still see the ancient floor, worn more deeply than in any other room, overhead the heavy timbers, the very oak of which is seasoned with the spicy vapor of the steaming flagons. Upstairs you are shown the travellers' rooms which those of lesser note occupied in common, and the state chamber still decorated with its wall paper of blue-bells, where tradition says Lafayette slept on his journey to Boston, in 1824. Above in the garret the slaves were accommodated, and when Indian invasion was... feared grain was stored there against a siege. In one of the upper rooms was the dance hall, which was later placed in an annex to the ancient building. In the more modern room the dais still stands at one end for the players, the wooden benches are still fixed to the walls, the floor is smoothly polished by feet once swiftly trip- ping in the old-fashioned contra dances or the stately minuet. Gone are the dancers, silent is the violin, over all the place for thirty years has reigned a solemn still- ness save when it is broken by the sweet voices of Nature and Nature's offspring, or, as Parsons sang of it : "The 'scutcheon is faded that hangs on the wall, And the hearth looks forlorn in the desolate hall ; And the floor that has bent with the minuet's tread Is like a church pavement — the dancers are dead." Could we have passed a day under the hospitable roof of the Red Horse Tavern one hundred and fifty years ago, those four and twenty hours would have enrolled before us a perfect picture of New England life.
