To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is but a few miles before reaching Limestone, that you observe a bank of calcareous stone, the great thickness of which clearly shews, that it is of a considerable extent. Two kinds of flints, round and of a middling size r are very abundant in the bed of the Ohio, particularly near the islands, where they have been accumulated by the force of the current ; some arc of a deep colour and split easily ; others smaller and less numerous, are of a white quartz, but rather opaque. In the Ohio, as... well as in the Aliegany, the Monongahela, and other rivers in the West Country, there is an abundance of mullet from two to five inches long ; they are not eaten, but the mother of pearl which they afford, being very thick, is made into sleeve-buttons. I saw some of these at Lexington, which were as fine as those made from the same substance in Europe. The new species which I have mentioned has been defined by M. JBose, Vnio Ohiotensis. The Ohio abounds in fish of different . Sorts, but the most common is the Cat-jhh or Silurus Felis : they are taken by the line, though some often weigh a hundred pounds.
