To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The multitude exclaims, "It is no ideal, but a veritable reality, and now stands the wonder of the universe. " Thus we have presented, in a feeble way, but a bird's- eye view of the germ of our present great Metropolis; its early outlook by no means calculated to encourage the enterprising explorer, has been brought to view; and watching with marked interest the unparalleled improve- ment on every hand, we are awed into silence, and dare not prophesy its future greatness. As the sturdy farmer s...cans his field but lately cleared of a cumbrous undergrowth of shrubs and thickets, the ground untilled, the seed un- sown — glowing prospects of a rich harvest are least sug- gesting, but, when with implements of agriculture and deter- mined will, he delves and toils from morn till night, faith spurs him on, and slowly, but surely, the planted seed, the budding stalk, and waving grain, insure a harvest, and recompense is nigh. So to the early settler, Chicago stood desolate and alone, the undergrowth of uncivilized Indian habitation lent an uninviting aspect to the eastern world, and advancement, for the time being, seemed impossible; but the rich soil of natural advantages was unearthed by the foresight of our pioneers, the seed planted, then arose in plenteous harvest, the wonderful products of a new-made vineyard, until now, after a growth of forty years, the City sketched upon the canvas, loses its jjrimitive indentity.
