To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The River Chagres, which falls into the Atlantic at the town of the same name, about 18leagues to the westward of Porto Bello is navigable as far as Cruces, within five leagues of Panama; but though the formation of a Canalfrom this place to Panama, facilitated by the valleys through whichthe present road passes, appears to present no very formidableobstacles, there is still a better expedient. At the distance of aboutfive leagues from the mouth of the Chagres it receives the riverTrinidad, whi...ch is navigable to Embarcadero; and from that place toPanama is a distance of about 30 miles, through a level country, witha fine river, [11] to supply water for the Canal, and no difficultywhatever to counteract the noble undertaking. The ground has beensurveyed, and not the practicability only, but the facility of thework completely ascertained. In the next place, the importantrequisite of safe harbours, at the two extremities of a Canal, is heresupplied to the extent of our utmost wishes. At the mouth of theChagres is a fine Bay, which received the British 74 gun-ships in1740, and at the other extremity is the famous harbour of Panama.
