To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He has adopted the artifice of an intricate plot, whose developments, apart from details, are sufficient to interest and excite the reader. 'Be- sides, he has kept in view a moral truth, whose il- lustration forms the graver object of the work. His conception is to show a young man, every way qualified to be an ornament of society, sud- denly acquiring enomious wealth, and becoming a member of the proprietary aristocracy of Ireland — a young man, thus qualified and situated, and who, neverthele...ss, and in spite of the best inten- tions in the world, turns the blessing into a curse for others, as well as himself, and wholly neglects the high trust reposed in him, and this through sheer ignorance of the real duties and responsi- bilities attendant upon wealth. In making his selection for a hero, the author was somewhat embarrassed. No youth, bom and educated in Great Britain, could be supposed to possess the ignorance which the subject required, M'ithout also being tainted with qualities peculiar to the low.er classes in that country, and which would disqualify him for the spirited part of the hero of a British drama in high life.
