To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But though its breadth has not been increased, the old buildings on both sides of it have given place in many instances to towering new ones, five and six stories high, which shut out the light, and keep the editors, com- pilers, printers, engravers, and book-binders, who are the principal laborers of the Row, in an all-day gloom. Both Bungay and Bacon had their domestic establishments over their shops, and their wives, who were sisters, thus had an opportunity to insult one another by looks an...d mute signs from their opposite windows. Bungay and Bacon, and their belligerent spouses are now out of the trade, and the annual Souvenirs and Keepsakes which made a part of their business, belong to an extinct form of hterature. The Row is full of Grub Street curiosities ; but Lady Fanny Fantail, Miss Bunion, and the Honorable Percy Popinjay are seen within its pre- cincts no more, and if they still exist, they probably find a new field for their distin- guished services in the society papers.
