To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So much the more have Ihey always been ours, and as for religion, when the individual need came, there was at hand a sound body of Divinity into which the sold put its own meaning. Children lose much who are brought up without know- ing the deference and reverence, not only shown but felt for age in those days. 1 hear it often said of late that people used to be old and useless and laid aside' at fifty, that mothers were not then as now the companions of their children, that nobody in fact knew... how to bring up a family until the Congress of Mothers began, and that women in general were weak and persecuted creatures. Let us not so immoderately condemn the past while giving thanks for the present. Human nature, like "true politeness" in the old Behaviour Book, "remains ever the same." The mas- terful perhaps used to rule more openly than now, and the weaker were pressed closer to the wall, but on the whole things were pleasant enough. I remember in my childhood a dozen old relatives and contemporaries of my grand- father who were between seventy-live and ninety years old, and still ruled their households, and their villages or neigh- borhoods as well, so far as might he, who were consulted in all matters great and small.
