To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At Oxford, matters are re- versed ; and, according to the idiom of the place, the lions shewn, are not the curiosities and raree shows, but the spectators ; these have the honour of being the lions.
In truth, the whole structure has no business where it is; it spoils the square, and the square spoils it. It looks as if some of the Genii in the Arabian Nights, had, by magic, run away with the dome of some very large building, and not knowing where to place it, they flung it down in Radcliffe Squ...are, and there they left it.* 9 Although there is much of truth in these severe remarks, the general effect of this classical edifice is extremely grand and imposing.
Over the entrance to the Library is a fine statue of the founder ; and directly opposite are the two beau- tiful Roman candelabre, found at Trivoli, in the ruins of the Emperor Adrian's palace, an engraving of one of which is subjoined, drawn by permission of Dr. Wil- liams, the librarian; they were presented to the Univer- sity by Sir Roger Newdigate, Bart, and are mounted upon a basement, having this inscription : Mrmm k Snf* by JktfS.
