To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The modest square of linen did not fail to transmute itself into a little mat of crimson velvet with gold lace trimming, Isabella-coloured moire lined with aurora taffeta and embelhshed with a little gold or silver lace ; and men's toilettes were no less gay than the ladies'. Had not that genial gardener, Andre le Nostre, one of white satin, embroidered in silver and gold and silk? And then the toilette gave its name to the articles laid out on it, as to the operation for which they were used, ...and to the tables specially made to carry them, tables whose boxes or drawers replaced the night coffer. Ideas of cleanliness making some modest progress, there was a dessous de toilette permanently in position on the table in question, and made of costly materials, this was covered by a dessus de toilette in musHn with flounces or furbelows, which was easily changed. But it was only under Louis XV that the toilette became the pretty piece of furniture with compartments so well known to us. From the writing-table was born the bureau, from the first third of the seventeenth century.
