To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
My son and, I passed rapidly before a toy-shop, or any other displaying a variety of wares, and cast an attentive glance upon it. A few steps further on we drew paper and pencil from our pockets, and tried which could describe the greatest number of objects seen in passing. I must own that my son far excelled me, for he would often write down forty objects, while I could scarcely recall thirty. Often feeling vexed at this defeat I would return to the shop and verify his statement ; but he rarel...y made a mistake. "My male readers," continues Monsieur Houdin, ** will certainly understand the possibility of this, but they will recognise the difiBculty. As for my lady readers, I am convinced that they will see nothing remarkable in it, for they daily perform far more astounding feats. Thus, for instance, I can safely assert that, one lady seeing another lady pass at full speed in a carriage, will have had time to analyse her toilette, from her bonnet to her shoes, and be able to describe not only the fashion and quality of the stuffs, but also say if the lace be real, or only machine-made.
