To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So interested were we in these subjects, that we kept together until midnight. Just then, a parrot owned by the landlord began to screech most fearfully, and to fly about the cage in a frightful manner. The landlord took him from the cage an'd placed him on the counter. There the poor bird stood trembling as if conscious of some impending evil. Then came the terrifying rumbling of the earthquake, followed by a shock which made the house rock so violently that we were forced to hold on to keep f...rom falling. But it did not fall, though the walls were cracked in several places ! It was a serious moment, well fitted to teach men their utter insignificance when brought into the presence of the Omnipotent Jehovah. How terrible will be that day to the guilty, iu which God will display the fury of his wrath in the burning of this great globe which we inhabit ! If an earthquake makes the face pale, and causes the knee to tremble, what will be the effect of the inconceivable terrors of 106 TWENTY YEARS that Day of Days ?
