To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Who except Goldsmith was capable of this veinof humor? When Munroe and Francis in Boston undertook about eighteen hundred andtwenty-four to republish these old-fashioned rhymes, in the practice ofthe current theory that everything must be simplified, they omitted allthese notes and changed many of the "Melodies. " Sir Walter Scott's"Donnel Dhu" was included, and the beautiful Shakespeare selections, "When Daffodils begin to 'pear, " "When the Bee sucks, " etc. , wereomitted. Doubtless the Ame...rican editors thought that they had vastlyimproved upon the Newbery publication in every word changed and everyline omitted. In reality, they deprived the nursery of much that mightwell have remained as it was, although certain expressions were veryproperly altered. In a negative manner they did one surprising andfortunate thing: in leaving out the amusing notes they did not attemptto replace them, and consequently the nursery had one book free fromthat advice and precept, which in other verse for children resulted inpersistent nagging.
