To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But it is of gossamer lightness when it can be, and floats on the air like wreaths of which the softest clouds are made. But we could not linger long at Kingti's, and we passed to his neighbors, and found that the richest and most deli- cate China ware comes from Nanking, and some of it is exquisite. But the diminution in the porcelain trade has reduced the amount of the manufactured articles, and full sets of the costliest kinds can hardly be found, but must be made per order. And there were r...ich Nanking vases, which we found we could purchase for one hundred dollars a pair. They were exquisite, and would be richly ornamen- tal anywhere, when crowned with gorgeous and lovely flowers, for which they were made. The Chinese are fond of flowers, but cultivate them al- most exclusively in vases, which are generally constructed of a rough porcelain material, and glazed, to stand the in- clemencies of the weather and the continued exposure of the open air. But nothing crowds more upon the attention of the stran- ger, as he walks through the bazaar, than the great variety of the chow-chow, * eatable things in the shape of pickles, sweetmeats, ginger-root, just taken from the ground, and soft, white, and tender; and salted eggs, covered with a red clay, and shark-fins ; and everywhere, first, midst, and last, paddy, paddy, paddy ; rice, rice, rice.
