To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I was rather startled by two of my familiars, about the best men going, declaring dead against " Amos." They have rather modified their opinions now, and I think may probably end by agreeing with me. They were the first men who had seen the Magazine after it was published, and finding two such lads against me, it required all the self- reliance, without which an Editor would be the most wretched dog alive, to make me feel quite easy and satisfied that I was right. "With one of them. Colonel Ham...ley, I do not recollect ever differing in opinion before. He thought the writer very possibly a man of science, but not a practised writer. The idea of a man of science had occurred to me before from some of the illustrations. I forget whether I told you or Lewes that I had shown part of the MS. to Thackeray. He came in about eleven o'clock, when I had just finished your manuscript, and was busy talking about it to Mrs Blackwood. I said to him, "Do you know I have lighted upon a new author who is uncommonly like a first-class passenger." I showed him a page or two — I think the passage where the Curate returns home and Milly is first introduced.
