To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The circumstances attending^ the crime for which these miserable beings have suffered, were of a nature so aggravated, as imperiously demanded the terrible punishment which has been inflicted upon them. " [They had shot their owner while he slept. ] 182 WINTER AT PHILADELPHIA.
*' The burning of malefactors is a punishment only resorted to when absolute necessity demands a signal example. It must be a horrid and appaling sight to see a human being consigned to the flames — let even fancy picture... the scene — the pile — the stake the victim, and the mind sickens and sinks under the oppres- sion of its own feelings, — what then must be the dreadful reality ! From some of the spectators we learn, that it was a scene which transfixed in breathless horror almost every one who wit- nessed it. As the flames approached him, the piercing shriek of the unfortunate victim struck upon the heart with a fearful, painful vibration, — but when the devouring element seized upon his body all was hushed : yet the cry of agony still thrilled in the ear, and an involuntary and sympathetic shudder ran through the crowd.
