To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The aristocracy of race and intellect was waiting ready to declare itself as soon as the opportunity was given. In any such time of expansion, the abler families rose first, the less able followed as the road was made easier, and the way to success was paved in front of them. So it is that all good people, looking back over such a period, are apt to lament the falling off of ability, and to tell tales of the " giants " of those early days. Truly Digitized by VjOOQlC THE RISE OF FAMILIES 95 the ...giants arose first, proved themselves, and, if their rise were due to commercial enterprise, as often as not withdrew from the competitive struggle for wealth, devoting themselves to other less remunerative but more honourable and important kinds of work. To illustrate the rise of families, five consecutive titles have been taken at hazard from the Peerage and their history analysed, in some cases with the help of the Dictionary of National Biography. The letter chosen, "G," was taken entirely at random, and a general acquaintance with the history of the families of our titled aristocracy gives the impression that the bio- graphies here noted are fairly typical ones.
