To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In this direction there is no doubt room for further improvement if full steam-power is utilised ; and, just as the voyage across the Atlantic has been reduced to between five and six days, so that between London and Colombo (under 7,000 miles) may yet be regularly accomplished in about seventeen or eighteen days, induding stoppages. But in the meantime we may well remind many persons who annually migrate to Algiers or Egypt to escape an English winter that a few days more of a pleasant voyage,... with little additional trouble and expense, will carry them to one of the fairest, most genial, and most interesting islands in the tropics — An Eden of the Eastern wave.
Among other attractions of Ceylon connected with the situation is its comparative freedom from cyclones, hurricanes, earthauakes or other volcanic disturbances. The great storms which perioaically agitate the Bay of Bengal, and sometimes, in terrific cyclones, carry destruction to shipping and property on the Hooghly and alon^ the coast as far south as Madras, seldom reach the island, unless it be at its extreme northern coast.
