To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No plebeian, unless in very rare cases, could obtain promotion in the army. No plebeian, unless by special favour, could buy a nobleman's estate. Coffee, tobacco, and salt were retained as Grovernment monopo- lies. Manufacturing industry was restricted within town-walls. So lately as 1774, an Edict was issued, making the export of wool a capital offence. Invalided soldiers, who could not spell but only swear, were ap- pointed the schoolmasters. Jews were subject to an ig- nominious poll-tax, in... common with the beasts of burthen.* K, then, we find abuses such as these with so high- spirited a people as the Prussian, and with so renowned a prince as Frederick the Second, how much worse may we not suspect of other European nations, and other Eu- ropean monarchs of that time? If — as we may here presume to apply the solemn words — ijf they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry ? The main fact is — and it serves to explain in a great measure every other fact connected with this question — that in the middle of the last century, all the States on the Continent of Europe, except only Holland and some few Cantons of Switzerland, were subject to the unlimited control of Monarchical or Aristocratical power.
