To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
^' Be ye courteous/' says the Apostle ; and the cour- teousness which, exalted by him into a Christian duty, characterises those nations of the Continent that, though our inferiors in morals and religion, are so much superior to us in polish and politeness, is one good effect pro- duced by the mingling together of the different classes of society. But that is calculated to produce still more important results. To illustrate this, let me take a house in Paris, as I knew it nearly forty years ago.... The two lower stories were occupied by a family belonging to the French noblesse^ while the tenant of the third was a banker, at whose house I was in the habit of visiting.
The apartment of the upper floor, right above my friend's scatty was occupied by a cobbler, the sound of whose 222 SKETCHES OF THE COWGATE. , busy hammer, though dulled, was distinctly audible below. Now suppose that the cobbler, who probably lived, like most of his craft, from hand to mouth, had been seized with fever. The silent hammer would have proclaimed the misfortune, awakening attention and lead- ing to inquiry ; and the result had been that my friend, the banker, would have taken an interest in the case of his honest but suffering neighbour, and found some way or other of supplying the wants of the family till the head of it had been able to resume work.
