To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
During the brief term of five days' 40 DONNAVAN'S ADVENTURES confinement within the gloomy walls of the prison at Monclova, among criminals condemned to die, I received impressions which years will not suffice to obliterate. It is impossible to contem plate, without the deepest pain, spectacles of degradation, which there became " familiar as honsehold words. " Laying aside the enormity of their crimes and the justice of their punishment, the discipline of a Mexican prison and the tortured agon...y of its in mates are enough to paralyze the cold and rigid sensibilities of a Siberian serf. As I would sit and contemplate this mass of con scious helplessness and misery, my mind would naturally translate itself to my own country, and indulge in comparisons. I thought what a glorious field here presented itself for the benevolent pur poses of Miss Dix, whose disinterested efforts to restrain the rig orous discipline of the prisons of the United States, have made many a penitent heart glad. But the melancholy history of un fortunate Mexico, records rare examples of pure and elevated vir tue, combined with accomplishments like hers.
