To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A little to the north of this town I met with a poor family of Laotian Christians, of whom the good Father Larmandy had spoken to me. We moored our boat near their house, hoping that it would remain in safety while I explored the mountains in the neigh- borhood and visited Patawi, which is the resort of the Laotian pilgrims, as Phrabat is of the Siamese.
" All the country from the banks of the river to the hills, a distance of about eight or nine miles, and the whole surface of this mountain-ra...nge, is covered with brown iron-ore and aerolites; where they occur in the greatest abundance vegetation is scanty and consists principally of bamboo, but it is rich and varied in those places where the detritus has formed a thicker surface of soil. The dense forests furnish gum and oil, which would be valuable for commerce if the indolent natives could be prevailed on to collect them. They are, however, infested with leopards, tigers, and tiger-cats. Two dogs and a pig were car- ried off from the immediate vicinity of the hut of the Christian guardians of our boat during our stay at Pakprian ; but the following day I had the pleasure 10 138 8IAM of making the offending leopard pay for the robbery with his life, and his skin served me for a mat.
