To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Through many a dazzling corridor, glittering with lights, and redolentof choicest perfumes, through many a fair saloon the guests weremarshaled to the great drawing-room, where, beneath a canopy of state, the ill-advised and imbecile monarch, soon to be deserted by the veryprinces and princesses who now clustered round his throne, sat, withhis host and his lovely daughters at his right hand, accepting thehomage of the fickle crowd, who were within a little year to bowobsequiously to the cold-bl...ooded Hollander.
That was a day of singular, and what would now be termed hideouscostumes--a day of hair-powder and patches, of hoops and trains, ofstiff brocades and tight-laced stomachers, and high-heeled shoes amongthe ladies--of flowing periwigs, and coats with huge cuffs and nocollars, and voluminous skirts, of diamond-hilted rapiers, and diamondbuckles, ruffles of Valenciennes and Mecklin lace, among the rudersex. And though the individual might be metamorphosed strangely fromthe fair form which nature gave him, it cannot be denied that theconcourse of highly-bred and graceful persons, when viewed as a whole, was infinitely more picturesque, infinitely more like what the fancypaints a meeting of the great and noble, than any assemblagenow-a-days, however courtly or refined, in which the stiff dress coatsand white neckcloths of the men are not to be redeemed by the Parisianfinery--how much more natural, let critics tell, than the hoop andtrain--of the fair portion of the company.
