To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It has, besides, tended much to the diminu- tion of crime in Scotland. We have forgot the period preceding the Banking system, but it is easily recalled. Look at the old magazines or newspapers, during the time when the currency was chiefly maintained by specie, a ready tempta- tion to the ruffian — the murder of graziers and dealers returning from fairs where they had sold their cattle, was a not infrequent occurrence. Farm-houses of the better class, as well as gen- tlemen's baronial residenc...es, were defended by bars on the windows, upper and under, like those of a prison ; yet these houses were often broken open by daring gangs, to possess themselves of the hoards which the tenant must have then kept beside him against rent-day, and his land- lord, for the current expense of his household. At present — Ccmtahit vacuus — the drover or grazier has a Banker's receipt for the price of his cattle, in the old almanack which serves him for a pocket-book, and fears no robbery — while the farm-house, or manor, is secure from the at- tack of ruffians, who arc like to find no metal there more precious than the tongs and poker.
