To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The gold brick which the swindlers sold to the credulous countryman was hardly more mythical than the enforcement of the law which was supposed to be secured by the organisation of the City police. It is therefore not surprising to learn that the police were hand-and-glove with the gang of swindlers which, under King McXally, carried on the Green Goods trade in the City of Xew York. It was one of the most lucrative of all the crimes which were carried on under police protection, and one of the ...safest. Few of all the stories told before the Lexow Committee display quite so unblushing a co-partnership between the law- breakers and the law officers as w r as revealed in this Green Goods swindle. The rascality of the rogues was so audacious that it provokes a laugh. For it is possible to carry impudence to a point where indignation is momentarily submerged by the sense of the ludicrous. Sheer amazement at the existence of such preposterous villains begets such a sense of its absurdity, that any censure seems as much out of place as in the nonsense tales of the nursery.
