To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The river banks, from the neighbourhood of Brock ville, are of limestone, from 20 to 50 feet in height, and evidently grooved, or hollowed, by the tides of former ages. Immense masses of reddish granite are scattered along the bed of the stream, and some times project bare and bold from the shore. On one of these projections there is a blockhouse, form ing a prominent object at a considerable distance. The islands which crowd the approach to Lake On tario, called, from their number, 1000 isles,... have all a granite basis, but are cloathed with cedar, pine, and abundance of raspberries : The bed of the Ga- nanoqua is also of granite, and the lofty banks of the Kingston river, near the mills, are of the same rock, which probably crosses the country near the heads of the Oswegatchie, Muskinsons, Juniatta, and Ap- palusia rivers (the latter of which has a fall of 150 feet, ) till it strikes, by Lake Champlain, the ridge of the Belreil mountains. The Gananoqua is rising into importance, from the circumstance of a new- settlement being formed, under the auspices of go vernment, on the waters^ with which it communi cates.
