To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No one who ever had the pleasure of being in his society could forget his singularly fine and stately person and his perfect manners. He was a gallant soldier, too, and won distinction in the Peninsular War. While he was serving on Wellington's staff he had the misfortune to be captured by the French, but, after a few months as prisoner of war, he gained his freedom by exchange. For a short time he was a Junior Lord of the Admiralty, but soon abandoned office for the more congenial duties of a ...great landlord. As a coachman he was second to none, and his famous team of skewbalds was one of the sights of London. The Turf, too, had a share of his patronage, and his small but well-selected racing stud brought him some kudos on the race-course. Music and the drama had no more lavish and liberal supporter. It was largely owing to his generous subsidies that Italian Opera at Her Majesty's survived the evil days on which it had fallen, and was able to hold its own till public taste veered round again to its support.
