To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The dining-room, which is bright and spacious, is on the same side of the house as the conservatory ; the open window to the left of the bay is Sydney Smith's study, justice-room, and surgery. The principal rooms, both upstairs and down, are shut off from the rest of the house. York is about eight miles from the rectory as the crow flies, and from the drawing-room window on a fine day the majestic towers of the Minster can be distinctly seen through a break in the trees. " I like my new house v...ery much," wrote Sydney in a letter to Jeffrey in the autumn of 1814 ; " it is very com- fortable. I would not pay sixpence to alter it; but the expense of it will keep me a close prisoner here for life." ' A few steps beyond the gates of Foston Rectory the pretty village of Thomton-le-Clay — consisting of some thirty or forty houses — straggles up the hilly turnpike road; and most of the people who attend Foston Church live in Thornton. In the distance, on the crest of a wooded hill to the right, stands the stately column erected in the grounds of Castle Howard to the memory of the famous Lord Carlisle.
