To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Lord Cowan had been on the Bench for some ten years in I860, and it was in his declining years that I knew him best. He was a careful and well-equipped judge, if not a strong one, and a man of unaffected piety. In the Criminal Court on circuit the ways of crime and of the criminal classes seemed almost to overwhelm him. I remember in the Circuit Court at Glasgow, a girl of some thirteen years from the slums of the city was placed in the witness-box to give her evidence, her head scarcely higher... than the front of the stand. Cowan, before administering the oath or allowing her to give evidence, took infinite pains, as was his custom, to ascertain if she had any notions of religion or the obligations of an oath. The child answered his questions with unexpected intelligence and knowledge, and her evidence was taken. Cowan commended her warmly and expressed himself as ex- tremely pleased with her accurate religious knowledge.
Before dismissing her he added, "And now, my little girl, tell me how you earn your living." " If ye please, Sir, a'm just a bit hourock." Cowan seemed quite unable to grasp her meaning, and when it was labori- ously explained to him, he almost fainted at the possi- bility of such depravity.
