To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Almost the best fac- simile must sutler in comparison. Perhaps even Be- wick's best had done so. But when he drew in white- line, he found out a new style altogether, and invented engraving-on-'wood. The old style — the imitation of copper — was not lost or abandoned; the engraver could still use that when he would (though Bewick himself paid little or no heed to it) : but the new method gave him a power unknown before. With the use of this new power engraving-on-wood became a distinct art. Obs...erve now that this method rules throughout the engravings I give here as specimens — Plates II, III, IV, and also in tlie cuts on pages 53, 81. Do not at present mind about their merit as engravings. Be they never so bad, they may serve to sufficiently explain what I have to say. They are all in white-line : without any admixture of fac-simile except what I shall presently note in one of them. The method employed in Plate II (the white line on the black, which is all the engraving there is) is plain enough.
