To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Every man here is employed in some trade or other ; and though they have universally discarded the word shop as ungenteel, and adopted the softened term of store, yet Buonaparte's taunt of being a nation of shopkeepers, would have been much more ap- propriately applied here than in Britain. Dinner parties are not very common, but small dances and evening societies are both frequent and agreeable. 14 Many of the ladies are lively, handsome, and well educated; cultivathig music, French, Italian, ...and other accomplishments, with great success. Their complexions, features, and manners, are de- cidedly English ; but they are fond of adopting the gaudiest French modes of dress, and do not, I think, show in general much taste in the blend- ing of colours. The men are by no means deficient in acquire- ments, but have often a rude dictatorial way of contradicting each other, and wearing their hats in all places and under all circumstances, which betokens ill manners instead of perfect equality : in fact, there is here, as elsewhere, a complete aristocracy ; only the distinction is marked by superiority of wealth instead of birth ; and those who hold situations in the militia or other depart- ments are remarkably tenacious of their honor- ary titles.
