To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Without descending to a minute detail of the many petty feuds and factions into which the population was divided, and which, in a greater or less degree, exist in all states, and are every where converted by the com- petitors for power to the purposes of their individual ambidon, we shall confine our- selves to the history of the two great rivals, under one or other of whose banners all lesser divisions were blended, in order to display their united zeal in the cause of a Drinkwater or a Belgra...ve. The character of the latter of these leaders has already 204 A WINTER been unfolded,, with the brilliant career oi her earlier days. It was not till the influence of Belgrave had received a fatal shock, by an accidental exposure of her weakness, through the failure of some supplies, that there was found a rival hardy enough to contest it. At that epoch the duchess of Drinkwater appeared upon the field of fashion, and threw down the gauntlet of defiance to Belgrave : an event which produced upon the fashionable world an effect precisely similar to that which the natural world sustains from the convul- sion of an earthquake ; or which the moral world experienced from the French revo- lution.
