To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I know of no more unfair or unmerited stigma than that which, in the minds of many, attaches to the trade of horse dealing. There are, of course, low and dishonest dealers in horses, as there are in all commodities, but the body is not to be judged by them. There are probably as good an average of honest, high-minded men in that trade as in any other, but they labour under great disadvantages. Their traffic is in the most uncertain, varying, and hard-to-judge-of article in existence. A gold- sm...ith can assay his gold, or test his silver ; very moderate experience will enable the merchant to judge the quality of wine, or silk, or wool; a timber dealer knows a sound log when he sees it ; but the most astute and long-practised of horse dealers may fail to discover hidden defects in a colt, and young horses he must have, for his customers insist upon having them young, though, in, by far the greater number of instances, a seasoned old one, if sound, would suit them ten HORSE DEALING. 13$ times better.
