To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There has 'probably very rarely ever been so happy a position as that of a London private banker ; and never perhaps a happier. It is painful to have to doubt of the continuance of such a class, and yet, I fear, we must doubt of it. The evidence of figures is against it. In i8iothere were 40 private banks in Lombard Street admitted to the Clearing-house ; there now are only 13.* Though the business] of banking ,has increased so much since 18 10, this species of banks is fewer in number than it ...was then. Nor is this* the worst. The race is not renewed. There are not many recognised impossibilities in business, but every- body admits " that you cannot found a new private bank." No such has been founded in London, or, as far as I know, in the country, for many years. The old ones merge or die, and so the number is lessened ; but no new ones begin so as to increase that number again. The truth is that the circumstances which originally favoured the establishment of private banks have now almost passed away.
