To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The author of that does not depict EngHsh scenes or English homes. The blackguards and scoundrels, the rogues and vagabonds, the thieves and beggars, of passed times are history — ^inasmuch as history would not be its true self without a pretty good account of them, and yet the late Mr. Green is as silent on the point in his curiously imperfect Account of the English People as he is on our Gardening and our Cookery. There is a kind of satisfaction in being sure that these characters were as gre...at a nuisance to our ancestors as they are to us. The " Highway to the Spital House, " by Robert Copland, who, like the more illustrious Caxton, united the vocations of printer and author, professes to afford some light here. Copland hved under King Henry VIII. ; he is supposed to have written this metrical picture of the state of the Hospital of St. Bartholomew, as he knew it, about the year 1520. The poem (so to speak) has slender pretensions to elegance — or, alas ! to originality ; for worshipful Master Robert Copland, who was an industrious translator from the French, was indebted to a piece in that language, at all events for the broad idea and plan, called Le Cliemin de V Hospital, printed in 1505, when he was a very little boy indeed.
