To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" 96 Ancient America- CIIAKACTER OF THE SOUTHEEN EUINS.
Should you visit the ruins of one of these mysterious old cities, you would see scattered over a large area great edifices in different stages of decay, which were erected on the level summits of low pyramidal mounds or plat- forms. The summits of these mounds are usually of suf- ficient extent to furnish space for extensive terraces or "grounds, " as well as room for the buildings. The edi- fices were built of hewn stone laid in a mortar ...of lime and sand, the masonry being admirable, and the orna- mentation, in most cases, very abundant. The pyramid- foundations of earth were faced with hewn stone, and provided with great stone stairways. These, we may suppose, were the most important buildings in the old city. The ordinary dwellings, and all the other less im- portant structures, must have been made chiefly of wood or some other material, which had perished entirely long ago and left no trace, for at present their remains are no more visible than those of the forest leaves wliicli o-rew five hundred years ago.
