To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Close by this little town is a large oak, which, from its size, is called The Mammoth Oak, it being the custom of this country to call every thing very large by the epithet of ** mammoth ;" so that one hears of a mammoth cake, a mammoth pie, a mammoth oyster — terms the most incongruous. This mammoth oak, however, is not more than twenty-two feet in circumference, which, though large as compared with oaks in gene- ral, is little in comparison with some of the cedars of LARGE TREES. 3^7 Lebanon,... thirty-six feet in girth, and still more so in comparison with the baobab-tree mentioned by Adanson, found by him in Africa, measuring thir- teen fathoms, or seventy-eight feet, round. The cele- brated Arab traveller, Ibn Batuta, mentions having seen trees of such a size in Africa, that in the hollow trunk of one of ordinary dimensions he saw a weaver working at his loom ; and in this country, Hinton mentions that Judge Tucker of Missouri cut off a section of the hollow trunk of a sycamore tree, ap- plied a roof to it, and furnished it for a study.
