To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The account has been worked right, the proper authorities consulted, an accurate judgment formed, the most telling incidents selected. Perhaps experience shows that there is something English in this talent. The Ger- mans are more elaborate in single monographs ; but they seem to want the business ability to work out a complicated narrative, to combine a long whole. The French are neat enough, and their style is very quick ; but then it is difficult to believe their facts ; the account on its f...ace seems too plain, and no true Parisian ever was an antiquary. The great classical histories published in this country in our own time show that the talent is by no means extinct ; and they likewise show, what is also evident, that this kind of com- position is easier with respect to ancient than with respect to modern times. The barbarians burned the books ; and though all the historians abuse them for it, it is quite evident that in their hearts they are greatly rejoiced. If the books had existed, they would have had to read them.
