To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His volumes open well, andare beaten ... Too unmercifully. It is the reigning error of Frenchbinders. They think they can never beat a book sufficiently. They exercisea tyranny over the leaves, as bad as that of eastern despots over theirprostrate slaves. Let them look a little into the bindings of those volumesbefore described by me, in the lower regions of the Royal Library[152]--andhence learn, that, to hear the leases crackle as they are turned over, produces _nearly_ as much comfort to the... thorough-bred collector, as doesthe prattling of the first infant to the doating parent.
THOUVENIN[153] and SIMIER are now the morning and evening stars in thebibliopegistic hemisphere. Of these, Thouvenin makes a higher circle in theheavens; but Simier shines with no very despicable lustre. Their work isgood, substantial, and pretty nearly in the same taste. The folio Psalterof 1502, (I think) in the Royal Library, is considered to be the _ne plusultra_ of modern book-binding at Paris; and, if I mistake not, Thouvenin isthe artist in whose charcoal furnace, the tools, which produced this_êchantillon_, were heated.
