Typed description:
"The details of the structure of the Grand Canyon can be seen only at close view, but grand effects of the whole can be witnessed in great panoramic scenes. Seen in detail goges and precipes appear, seen at a distance, in comprehensive views, vast massive structures are presented. The traveler on the brink looks from afar and is overwhelmed with the sublimity of massive forms; the traveler among the gorges stands in the presence of awful mysteries, profound, solemn and gloomy."
