To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Rob's time, contemporary with the palmy days of highway robbery in England, there were more resources for men of spirit. The Englishman took to the highway, the Highlander "took to the brae, " and gathering all the scamps of the district about him, forayed or levied black mail. The condition into which his clan had been forced by the harsh laws directed against them favoured his projects. Other clans had their chiefs, who represented them, and were responsible for their good behaviour. But t...he M'(ire- gors were proscribed, and could not ostensibly unite themselves with any chief. To be chiefless was a great calamity in the Highlands. To say, ' Name your chief. '' was the most insulting taunt which could be thrown out against a man who had the mis- fortune to have none. The men so situated were called broken men, and were always the most ready to be employed in the de- signs of an unscrupulous and clever leader. It was thus that Rob, from a bankrupt cattle-drover, saw him- self metamorphosed into a captain of banditti.
