To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the following day we left for Florence. We passed along the banks of the Arno, and over a well cultivated country. The city of Florence we found to well sustain its exalted reputation for the beautiful in painting, stat- uary, and mosaics. As much can not, we think, be said 350 WHAT I SAW, for the general appearance of the city. Possibly we have been spoiled and our sense of appreciativeness deadened by six months of wandering amid the wonders of the world. Our explorations were conducted mo...stly on foot, a means of locomotion which possesses advantages not to be overlooked in a strange city. We found much to ad- mire, both in the city itself and in its surroundings, but nothing which justifies the enthusiastic declaration that no other city equals Florence in elegance. Florence is lo- cated in a valley, surrounded by the Apennine mountains, and the river Arno divides the city. There are a great number of fine edifices and squares, usually adorned with statues or fountains. There are no less than one hundred and seventy churches, eighty-nine convents, an indefinite number of palaces, twelve hospitals, and about a dozen theaters.
