To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For to these five years belong the early xxxi INTRODUCTION volumes of the Golden Treasury series, the Cambridge Shakespeare^ Freeman's Federal Government^ the series of Vacation Tourists, edited by Francis Galton, the Tracts for Priests and People, Westcott's Canon of the New Testament, and not a few other books both literary and educational, which brought fame alike to author and publisher. Of these perhaps the most notable is Kingsley's IVater Babies, which I well remember my father reading t...o us as children at Cambridge, either from manuscript or proofs. Nothing is more striking in reading through the letter-books, from which only a small selection has here been made, than the extraordinary activity both of mind and body that they imply. Not only is every letter written in Alexander Macmillan's own hand, but it is evident from their contents that during the whole of this period, as for many years later, he himself read practically every manuscript that was submitted to him, and although he might now and again get a second opinion from a friend, he acted for the most part on his own judgment.
