To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

On the contrary, the whole discourse and behaviour of the French is to make the sex more fantastical, or (as they are pleased to term it) more awakened, than is consistent either with virtue or discretion. To speak loud in public assemblies, to let every one hear you talk of things that should only be mentioned in private, or in whisper, are looked upon as parts of a refined education. At the same time, a blush is unfashionable, and silence more iU-bred than anything that can be spoken. In shor...t, discretion and modesty, which in all other ages and countries have been regarded as the IQI THE SPECTATOR greatest ornaments of the fair sex, are considered as the ingredients of narrow conversation and family behaviour.
Some years ago I wsls at the tragedy of Macbeth, and imfortu- nately placed myself under a woman of quality that is since dead ; who, as I found by the noise she made, was newly returned from France. A little before the rising of the curtain, she broke out into a loud soliloquy, "When will the dear witches enter?" and immedi- ately upon their first appearance, asked a lady that sat three boxes from her, on her right hand, if those witches were not charming creatures.
