To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
T. A Novel. By HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN. 8vo, Paper, 25 cents.
HARPER & BROTHERS' LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. 153 Marco Polo's Travels, Greatly amended and enlarged from valuable early Manuscripts, published by the French Society of Geography, and in Italy by Count Baldelli Boni. With copious Notes, illustrating the Routes and Observations of the Author, and comparing them with those of more recent Travelers, by HUGH MURRAY, F. R. S. E. Maps and a Vignette. 18mo, Muslin, 45 cents.
A romantic and inter...esting work, which has maintained its place for five cen- turies, while subsequent works of the kind have rather tended to increase than diminish its value no trifling evidence of its great merit. It is one of the great literary performances that originated within the walls of a dungeon, Marco Polo being, at the time of its composition, imprisoned at Pisa. This enterprising trav- eler explored more in the very heart of the Chinese empire, and acquired more intimate knowledge of the wandering Tartars of Asia than any one of his pre- decessors, and indeed, it may be added, his successors, for in the thirteenth cen- tury he enjoyed the immunity, since denied, of visiting Pekin with his eyes open; his description, therefore, can not but be interesting and valuable, especially at the present day.
