To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With all these advantages of triple harvests, which cost no fallowing, weeding, manure, or other expen- sive processes, the farmer in Abyssinia is always poor and miserable. The cattle roam at discretion through the moun- tains. The herdsmen set fire to the grass, bent, and brushwood, before the rains ; and an amazing verdure immediately follows. As the mountains are very steep and broken, goats arc chiefly the flocks that graze upon them. It is not the extreme height of the moun- tains in Abys...sinia that occasions surprise, but the number of them, and the extraordinary forms' they present to the eye. Some of them are flat, thin, and square, in shape of a hearth-stone, or slab, that scarce would seem to have base sufficient to resist the action of the winds. Some are like pyramids, others like obelisks or prisms, and some, the most extraordinary of all the rest, pyramids pitched upon their points, •with their base uppermost, which, if it were possible, as it is not, they could have been so formed in the beginning, would be strong objections to our received ideas of gravity.
