To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The produce must be in- creased by every eflfort ^of ingenuity and skill. The energies of the farmer must be stimulated and his ignorance and sloth cured by a rack rent." ^ We hardly think, however, that Rogers has read Young's character aright. The learned historian of Work and Wages holds a brief for the labourer, and cross-examines with all the severity of a special pleader any witness hostile to his cause. Many a man in Young's circumstances would have considered that the task which he had ...set himself would require the un- divided attention of a lifetime. As a specialist, therefore, he would have deemed it his sole duty to study the interests of agriculture, and would naturally have concluded that other in- dustries might be left to take care of themselves. Nor, again, does Mr. Prothero quite hit off his particular idiosyncracies. After justly eulogising his keen observation and' great talents for description, and estimating him as one of the most en- lightened and useful pioneers of agricultural improvement that the century produced, he goes on to say : * " His enthusiasm is always genuine if it is sometimes extravagant, as when he praises the plumpness of Rubens' female portraits with the eye of a grazier, or remarks of a fine Correggio : A fine picture is a good thing, but I had rather it had been a fine tup." We cannot but think that Young's enthusiasm was sometimes feigned and therefore extravagant.
