To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They have all for generations been kept in a state of ignorance and want of common education almost incredible, by the cursed government which this poor country has so long suffered under ; this will naturally cause all their actions to be weak, and weakness appears to me their greatest fault. Now I come to the worst class of Spaniards the placemen these are to the last degree despicable. From the lowest wretches in the municipalities to the heads of the government almost, there is scarcely a m...ean act under the sun that they will not perform to put a dollar into their pockets. The Portuguese are a kind hospitable people, but most despicably servile, and the greatest cheats and thieves in the world, and will do anything for a bribe ; their peasantry have Gibraltar, February 26th, 1813. 81 not one grain of that beautiful nobleness of character and strict honour which is so striking in that of Spain ; nor are the manners of the upper orders in Portugal to be mentioned with those of Spain.
