To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Lord Galway wore a plain cuirass and gorget so severely simple that itmight have been mistaken for the guise of one of Cromwell's officers, who were otherwise unrepresented. Mr. Gladstone was there as Sir Leoline Jenkins, judge of the HighCourt of Admiralty in Charles's reign. His dress was copied from anengraving in the British Museum. It was quiet enough, but it isdifficult to realise "the grand old man" of to-day in a velvet coatturned up with blue satin, ruffles and collar of old point, bla...ckbreeches and stockings, and shoes with spreading bows. Sir Edwin Landseer, whom Miss Thackeray has described as helping todress some of the ladies for this very ball, was so studiously plainthat it must have looked like a protest against the use of"properties" in his apparel. He wore a dress of black silk, with nocloak, no mantle, no skirts to his coat. Round his neck was a lightblue scarf, hanging low behind. He had on a grey wig, imitatingpartial baldness. There could have been no doubt of the historicalcorrectness of the dress, though there might have been some questionof its becomingness.
