To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Though amen- able to the same laws, and recognized as a Spanish subject, he is distinguishable at a glance. The youths undergo their allotted period of army service, but remain not an hour beyond the stipulated time with the colours. Their normal occupations to-day are chiefly those of butchers — all the shambles of Spain are in their hands — tinkers, horse-breakers, mule and donkey-dealers, and basket-makers. But, at a pinch, the gitano now conde- scends to engage on the lighter work of the la...nd — hoeing, weeding, &c. Like the Jew, the gypsy has ever hitherto been conspicuous by his absence from every field of manual labour : both prefer the lighter barters of life ; and that the gitano should now — even casually — take to such honest work, is perhaps a sign of the times. One great change has, however, been wrought by the century of equal laws — a change perhaps of vital import to the villain crew. The once sacred errate is contami- nated. Marriages between the two races — with or without the sanction of the church — are now frequent, though the Spaniard who contracts such ill-savoured union loses caste among his or her own people, and the children of these mixed marriages never lose the taint.
