To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The upper jacket is long, reaching nearly to the feet. Their feet, while bound, are not compressed into such a pain- fully small size as is usual in the southern districts, and not to such an extent as to interfere with their walking. Leaving this stream, we are soon in sight of the first group of limestone hills, which rise black and craggy, in bold contrast to the smooth, undulating hills of a softer formation near by. One huge cliff partly overhangs the water, and beneath its projecting side..., just above the surface of the water, is a peculiar formation, in which we vainly look for a resemblance to an "inverted bonze," which is the name it has received from the natives. On one side of the cliff is an extensive limestone quarry, and the gleam of the freshly-detached limestone flashes out among the shrubs and bushes. At this point the river makes a long dStour, while the footpath crosses a depression in the hills, and shortens the journey by several miles. Both routes are full of interest.
