To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Royalty, however, has not disappeared, as in France or Spain, nor has a republican party become leagued against it ; the House of Lords has not been seriously threatened, and the inner world of politics has not opened wide its ranks to men of another class, the class whose wishes would henceforward be its law. Finally, administratively, the gentry have unre- sistingly accepted a dispossession which has left them with only their judicial powers, the police and the grant of licences, transferring... all the rest of their prerogatives to the elective local corporations. This dispossession was still further characterised by the allocation, made in the counties, of certain parts of the general taxation (licences, aliquot parts of the rights on testamentary succession and of excise on beer, and of additional duty on alcohol) on the condition that the product may be applied to an expenditure determined by the law. The jealous care with which the county squires avoided the subsidies of the State has been plainly evident in higher circles.
