To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Great artists, such as Puvis de Chavannes and John Sargent, have helped to decorate the Boston Library. In brief, Boston and its Library are not to be sneezed at. A certain woman asked for George Moore's " Esther Waters," recognized, I believe, as one of the most serious and superb of modern novels.
The work was included in the catalogue of the Library. In reply to her request she was informed that she could not have " Esther Waters " unless she obtained from the Chief Mandarin or Librarian spe...cial permission to read it, on the ground that she was a " student of literature." I doubt whether the imagination of nincompoops and boards of management has ever devised anything more beautiful than this.
But the lady had a husband, and the husband, being a prominent journalist, had the editorial use of a newspaper in Boston. He began to make enquiries, and 190 CENSORSHIP BY THE LIBRARIES he discovered that many of the catalogue 3 Mar. '10 cards were marked with red stars, and that a star signified that the work described on the card was not morally fit for general circula- tion.
