To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And the booksellers appear to have changed, too, for there are no ' characters ' among them, or, at any rate, very few. Every now and then you will meet with some strange mortal, who looks as though he had been transported bodily from the last century and tumbled uncere- moniously into a brand new shop, with coloured glass above the portal, and fresh paint about the front ; but you have hardly time to ruminate on the mutability of things under the sun and he is gone, to make way, perhaps, for a... dealer in some- thing superlatively new. An antiquary of the stamp of Francis Grose, the ' chiel ' who went about taking notes, would stand aghast, then hasten to depart, could he but see the London of to-day, It must not, however, be supposed that book- hunting as a pastime is extinct in modern Babylon. On the contrary, there are yet plenty of nooks and corners, and pestilential-looking alleys, that Death and the jerry-builder have apparently forgotten, and these places, we may be certain, . Some Hunting-grounds of London 83 harbour many folios.
