To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The municipal section has no doubt been greatly favoured by fortune of recent years, which have been a period of triumphant and continuous progress for them. But a good deal of the success is, I think, due to the freemasonry which has consistently characterised them. Their strength and solidarity is the result of a free interchange of opinion and services, and the close touch kept in their ranks. This wholesome esprit de corps has inspired many with courage which they would otherwise have lacke...d, while it has restrained others from premature or ill-advised action. But if you turn to the other section, you will see that its composition is not equally homogeneous. The non-municipal libraries are not a true class but a series of sub-classes, com- prising State, Copyright, Endowed and Professional Libraries. A common bond between them, however, is to be found in their educational character. They are mostly collections for the promotion of the higher education or research. As a natural result they possess no common organisation, except in so far as they are members of the Library Association.
