To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Burney, first gained the ascendant over music. This lady, a Fleming by birth, was tall, shapely, and very handsome, and had copied her attitudes from classic models.
* She moves as gracefully slow as Pygmalion's statue when it was coming into life,' writes Walpole, ' and moves her leg round as imperceptibly as if she was dancing in the Zodiac' To this lady's performances the whole town crowded, but she was the especial admiration of the macaronies ; who, besides the six hundred pounds salary al...lowed her by the Hon. Mr. Hobart, the manager of the opera, compli- mented her with 2.regallo of six hundred more from their club.
Robberies were extremely rife in this age, and the cool manner in which they were perpetrated, as well as the easy light in which they were regarded, cannot but astonish us.
The newspaper press of the day furnishes us with some extraordinary histories of felons and felony.
' Friday, between five and six o'clock in the evening,' says one of these reports, ' as a gentleman was passing by the end of Fleet Bridge, near a china-shop, a fellow came up to him, and, seizing him by the collar and throat, forced him a few yards down towards Bridewell, whilst another took a white- silk purse out of his pocket containing twelve guineas, and attempted his watch, but, having a button-hole at the fob, the chain broke, and they were disappointed; they then threw him over the rails into a ditch, and made off.
