To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
First, I answer (with the prejudices, perhaps, of Eton and Oxford), that we owe it to our system of public schools and universities. From these institutions is derived (in the lan- guage of the prayer of our Collegiate Churches) *a due supply of men fitted to serve their country in Church and State.' It is in her public schools and universities that the youth of England are, by a discipline which shallow judg- ments have sometimes attempted to undervalue, prepared for the duties of public life.... There are rare and splendid ex- ceptions, to be sure ; but in my conscience I believe that England would not be what she is without her system of public education ; and that no other country can become what England is, without the advantages of such a system." ' Canning often revisited his old school ; and at one of the Eton dinners in London declared, amid enthusiastic applause, that "whatever might be the success in after life^ whatever gratification of ambition might be realised, whatever triumphs might be achieved, no one is ever again so great a man as when he was a sixth form boy at Eton." ' The success of the Microcosm did not tempt any Eton boys to try their powers as authors until 1804, when a new magazine, entitled the Miniature^ was set on foot, under the nominal management of a certain "Solomon Grildrig." The two publications resemble one another in scope and style, as well as in name.
