To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The cultured lady, we may be sure, was present when the tower, amidst great rejoicings, was declared complete, and she probably had a hand in composing those sentences engraved on the column, which refer in eulogistic terms to her valiant and re- nowned father. It is believed that the Mind,r was commenced by Cuttub, who laid the basement story either in his own honour or in honour of his generous benefactor, Mohammed, of Ghor. The column was then raised to five stories by Altamish, who took gre...at pride in the work. The Mindr is described as 'a tapering shaft, two hupdred and thirty-four feet and one inch high, with a base diameter of forty-seven feet and three inches, and an upper diameter of nine feet, divided into five stories or balconies, and decorated with ornamental bands.' From the bottom to the top there is a spiral staircase, arranged as comfortably as possible for ascent, and from the top a magnificent view is obtained of t]j.e imperial city for miles around. The Princess Rezia would watch the progress of the building of this wonderful tower with great delight, and when it was finished she was probably the first with the king to make the ascent and enjoy the view which was laid out before them.
