To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Patience, gentle reader, do not cry, " Hold hard ; we all know enough, and you have said more than enough, about this gruelling system. " Truly you do all know enough about gruelling your horses, in one common ac- ceptation of the phrase ; but, if you do know enough, you do not practise enough of the care which extends beyond the day, — that day fraught with exhilaration and excite- ment sufficient to quell thought for the future. You may find, however, that not only sufficient for that day, bu...t for the rest of the season, may be the evil thereof. You are too apt, especially if you have had your own mouthful, and lit your cigar, to arm yourself with the sophistry that the sooner you get your horse to his own stable — (videlicet, yourself to your own fireside) — the better ; and if you do take a glass of cherry bounce, in passing some friendly domicile, it is useless delay to dismount. Commend me to the man who, on being offered refreshment for himself, accepts it only in favour of his horse, and snatches his own crust and " go down" in the intervals of five minutes' attendance upon the animal which has borne him, and will repay his attention by bearing him again well through the toils and pleasures of many a day.
