To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The game, the kennel 47 and stable, the decoy and the river, afford to the rich man recreation for every leisure hour, with the graceful fact before him, that in his enjoyment of every one of those good old En- glish recreations, he has it in his power, and, indeed, he must contribute to the comfort and happiness of the poor, by finding them employ- ment. The man who loves his country, and truly desires the happiness of the people, will do nothing, he will agitate nothing, that will or may tend... to induce absenteeism among our landed gentry. Absenteeism has been the curse of Ireland, and Heaven prevent that the baneful example set us there, should, through the pes- tilential breath of the selfish surface-seeker, creep into the healthful system of this country ! Let any man untrammelled by the selfish knowledge that such enjoyments are out of his reach by sect, through personal inability to pursue them, or from fortune, visit the castle, abbey, or hall, in the country, where all old English sports are cherished, and then seek the mansion in a town, or the splendid villa near it, of the equally rich man who does not keep them up, and then judge between the two.
