To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


Fitz James alone wore cap and plume, And Snowdown's knight was Scotland's king.
These plumes, too, were also valued for another purpose*, that of garnishing their arrows; the feathers of the Eagle never being injured by rain or water as others are, but remaining always durable, firm, and incorruptible.
* See Lord Somers's Tracts, vol. In.

VULTURES ARE nearly allied to the Eagles in point of size and some of their habits; they yet differ from them con- siderably in others: generally speaking, they may be easily distinguished by the head and part of the neck being either quite naked or covered with a short down.
