To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now the latitude of Nantasket Roads is within a few minutes of a degree WATERTOWN THE SITE OF NORUMBEGA, 5 of the latitude of Boston and of Watertown, which is about 42 degrees and 20 minutes.
On this river Norumbega — the Charles — according to Allefonsce and Thevet, a few leagues from its mouth, was the city of Norumbega. The river runs from west to east for some distance. Where on the river was the city ? We may look for traces of some kind.
There are remains of an ancient ditch, forming a l...oop at the mouth of Stony brook. At the loop was what was called a fort. There was a settle- ment and a fishery there, and they were mentioned by Thevet. I found the evidences of them five years ago. The fort has nearly the same latitude as Watertown. It is the most considerable ancient work on the river west of us. The mouth of Stony brook is some thirty feet above tide-water. Here at Watertown is the limit of tide-water. Here, in your town, are wonder- fully-preserved reuiains of stone-walled docks and wharves, of a massive stone dam, a walled basin and fishway, and extended stone walls reaching on either side of the river, more perfectly on the left bank, with some inter- ruptions, neai-Iy to the United States Arsenal, a mile below.
