To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Illustrations of this may occurto most observers, but as a case in point I may refer to Cheshunt, on the borders of Hertfordshire. Some distance from the town-fringedhighway, the village church, ancient and picturesque, stands amidstits many generations of people--living and dead--hard by a littlestreet of old-world cottages. The spot and its surroundings arebeautiful, and the churchyard alone gives proof that the locality hasbeen under the influence of culture from generation to generation. In... few places are there so many and such artistic specimens ofallegorical carvings on the headstones. The usual experience is tofind one or two, seldom more than a dozen, of these inventions worthnotice, and only in rare instances to light upon anything of thekind distinctly unique; but at Cheshunt there are more than a hundredvarieties of sculptured design and workmanship, all the stonesstanding at the proper angle, and all in good condition.
FIG. 82. --AT CHESHUNT.
"To Mary Lee, died July, 1779, aged 49 years.
