To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Biography is still richer in the number of volumes ; while more than 5, 000 volumes of English and foreign periodicals decorate the shelves at the north end of the library. The fine arts, archaeology and music, occupy a large place in the collection, as likewise do the works relating to oriental literature, the Greek and Latin classics, philology in all branches, and the best of all the voyages and travels of ancient and modern times. Nearly all the books referred to in Professor C. K. Adams' M...anual of Historical Literature may be found there, as likewise those in Tylor's His- tory of Primitive Culture, in Lecky's History of European Morals, in Lea's History of the Inquisition, in Darwin's Origin of Species, etc. Works which have been jealously guarded as unique treasures in one or another of the public libraries of England or France have been reprinted by subscription, and now substantial copies of these rareties grace the collections of the Peabody Library. Printing clubs have also sprung up in England and Scotland, such as the Spenser Society, the Chaucer Society, the Early English Text Society, the Fuller Worthies Library, etc.
