To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Dost Mohamed Khan is himself a good critic on animal painting. He is one of the very few Orientals who can comprehend, without a question, the meaning of a shadow, or why one side of the face should be dark and the other light, and why, in some posi- tions, more of one eye should be seen than the other. When an Oriental is presented with a picture, he usually turns it upside down, unless its subject be very obvious DOST MOHAMED's HORSES. 363 indeed. I drew some of the Ameer's fa- vourite hors...es. He seldom flattered, often found fault, but always in good taste. He liked evidently to see a horse pourtrayed with all its faults, where they existed ; not desiring that either the crest should be raised, or th6 quarters enlarged, according to the fancy of the painter, as is always the case in the East. Dost Mohamed is as fond of horses as his powerful rival, Runjit. In the hot weather he rode every day, at- tended by some of his courtiers, to the Bagh, or garden of Timour Shah, where he used to sit, on a raised and carpetted platform, sheltered from the heat by a wooden roof, and the shade of aspen and mulberry trees ; whilst before and around him were picketted, perhaps, three hundred horses ; his favourites, of course, being quite close to him.
