To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The rental of a choice deer forest, and the working expenses of such a luxury, can only be borne by the few. There is, however, one gentleman now stalking in Scotland for whom one forest does not suffice, he has leased some five or six ! These vast tracts of country now bring to those owners who let them twice, and, in some instances, three times the sums obtained for them twenty-five or thirty years back. The tenants of such L. S. D. 131 sporting estates do not get any more than they bargain f...or, the right of lolling as many stags ; the privilege of stalking, in short — as has been shown, a most fatiguing pastime, and in a monetary sense absolutely profitless. On a deer forest outlay is the order of the day ; there is no income, red-deer venison being of very little value ; in some great Highland houses, it has been said of late that the domestics have declined to eat hashed venison, or even venison pasty, just as in the olden times apprentices are reputed to have bargained against being compelled to eat salmon oftener than once a week.
