To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Extravagance makes daugh- ters a very unprofitable investment; and rather than live within their means, and maintain them a few years in a manner becom- ing their fortunes, or tax their industry for a part of their suppprt, they thrust them out into society, and wheedle them into wed* lock while they are mere children. This is telling unwelcome and homely truth: but let us not always make truth unwelcome because she is homely. There are thousands of young girls in ou¥ cities defrauded of their ...education, forced into immature womanhood, premature matrimony, and untimely graves, because parents are too poor to support them in splendor, and too proud to do it in a manner suited to their means. If, then, these ladies are not profound scholars, let u^ not say it is for lack of capacity or perseverence; when their passions, like fruit on a dying tree, are ripened into sickly maturity by reading love-sick stories, and dancing the giddy round of fashion and singing sentimental songs with beardless lovers; and when their own parents drag them from their doll-babies and their horn-books, to be crushed in infan- cy by the cares of a family.
