To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was contrary to his principles to avoid them, as he said more than once it was " part of a Sovereign's duty to exhibit himself if it pleased anybody to see him '" but it was now due to the unpopularity of the Prince Regent, who was blockaded in Carlton House by a menacing mob during a great part of the morning, and afraid to stir out to meet his guests ; but in the course of the afternoon he left the palace quietly and joined them on the road, returning to London in the same carriage with th...e Emperor, and giving orders that it should drive by a most circuitous way to Pulteney's Hotel in Picca- dilly, where Alexander was to lodge. Rooms were prepared for him at Cumberland House, the residence of a prince he particularly disliked, but he only used them for holding levees and audiences. He had stated his wish to put up at the hotel where his sister was residing ; and his suite, including Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, had lodgings found for them in the neighbourhood at his expense. He thought he should be less trammelled by State etiquette, and be able to visit the useful public institutions, and observe the working of English law and the Constitution ; but a series of fetes and entertainments were arranged while he stayed, and no fashionable reunion was thought complete without his presence ; so that he found to his regret he had small leisure for more serious undertakings, and was obliged to be satisfied with a superficial view of merely the upper classes of Great Britain.
