To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Had there existed in the times of the Stuarts better vehicles for the expression of public opinion, they might probably have been saved from some of those schemes which proved so fatal to themselves. Newspapers had indeed been established in the rcign of Charles L ; but even in that of his successor they were small and unimportant, and appeared only occasionally. Toward the close of his reign Charles II. would allow only the London Ga- zette to be published. Till 1679 the press in general was u...nder a censorship ; but, though it was then emancipated for a short period, till the censorship was revived by James, the liberty was not extended to gazettes. In this state of things, the coffee-houses, which were established in the reign of Charles II. — for tea, coffee, and chocolate were first introduced about the time of the Restora- tion — were the chief places for the ventilation of political and literary opinions. The government regarded these places of resort with such uneasiness and suspicion that it once made an ineffect- ual attempt to dose them.
