To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nor yet have their parents a legal right to sell their virtue, which is morally the worst form of being accessory to 15 seduction. Those who have looked closely into these dreadful matters, report that children of tender age are bought of a wicked parent, or, if orphans, of some uncle or aunt, by a brothel-keeper : she sells them in turn for a large price to some rich customer, who is too delicate to risk infection : hence comes a perpetual supply to the market. The law must defend young girls'... virtue, at least as sternly as it defends their property, alike from strangers and from base kinsfolk. If a man run away with an heiress, a ward of Chancery, though each party may love' the other and desire marriage, the man is imprisoned for con- tempt of Court, and cannot escape punishment either by claim- ing to marry the lady, or by pleading that he never promised to marry her. So tender is English law of the rich, and so reckless of the daughters of the poor. It surely is time to change all this fundamentally.
