To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I have heard it suggested, that, in this space, may, and pro- bably does exist, a great inland desert, the crossing of which heats and dries the wind. Whether such a desert does or does not exist, is a problem that may not be solved for many years to come ; unless, indeed, the expedition now in contemplation, for the survey of the country in search of a practicable overland route from Sydney to Port Essington, should lead to its earlier solution. To this expedi- tion, should it ever start, I wi...sh every possible suc- cess, though I have my misgivings as to its favour- able result, and question the soundness of the judg- ment that advises the undertaking at this time. Supposing the route should prove practicable simply as a mail line, is the Colony at present in circum- stances to bear the expense of keeping it up ? The object is, to have the overland Indian mail carried from Singapore by steam to Port Essington, thence to Sydney overland ; the distance being, in round numbers, two thousand miles, three-fourths of the way through an uninhabited and unknown country.
