To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
CABINET OF NATURE.
RIVERS.
The next feature of the earth's surface which may- be noticed, is, the rivers with which it is indented in every direction. These are exceedingly numerous, and seem to form as essential a part in the constitution of our glojbe, as the mountiuns from which they flow, and as the ocean to which they direct their course. It is reckoned, that in the old continent, there are about 430 rivers, which fall directly into the ocean, or into the Mediterranean, and the Black seas ...; but in the new continent, there are only about 145 rivers known, which fall directly into the sea. In this innumeration, how- ever, only the great rivers are included, such as the Thames, the Danube, the Wolga, and the Rhone.
Besides these, there are many thousands, of streams of smaller dimensions, which, rising from the mountains, wind in every direction, till, they fall into the large ri- vers, or are carried into the ocean. The largest rivers in Europe are-»— the Wolga, which, rising in the north- ern parts of Russia, runs a course of 1700 miles, till it falls into the Caspian sea — the Danube, whose course is 1300miles, from the mountains in Switzerland to the Black sea — and the Don, which runs a course of 1200 miles.
