To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gladstone, on the other hand» has the reputation of being an autoerat, and for good or evil his hand was heavy for many years on every field alike of administration and of pohey. Mr. Gladstone's grasp is still as keen as it ever was ; but probably it is somewhat less pervading. It is difficult to be an octopus at eighty- three. It may, however, be safely said of the present Prime Minister, and of the Prime Minister in general, that no great appointment (however much it may technically be in the... gift of a Secretary of State) is ever made, except by him or with his concurrence, and that no decision of first-rate importance is taken in any of the departments until he has been consulted. Here, for instance, is Lord Rosebery, let us say, at the door in Downing Street. He has walked over across the road from the Foreign Office to consult the Prime Minister on the latest news from Uganda or Morocco or Egypt. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has an even shorter step to take; which is some saving of time, for no vital decision can be taken in Treasury business without first taking the Prime Minister's pleasure.
