To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Knowing all we do of this queer London recluse, of his tastes, his habits, and his humour, one can almost imagine him asking, at the last, as Lamb asks, "Sun and sky and breeze, and solitary walks. And society and the cheerful glass, and the candle-light and fire-side conversations, and innocent vanities and jests and irony itself — do these things go out with life?

In " Erewhon, " it will be remembered, the only crime known to the law is physical disease ; moral delinquency is regarded merely as a condition of spiritual ill- health ; his host, Mr Nosnibor, a wealthy merchant, he finds just recovering from an aggravated attack of acute embezzlement, and he witnesses a trial in the Supreme Court where a prisoner receives penal servitude on a charge of pulmonary consumption !
