To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He turned a deaf ear to the ministrations of the Ordinary, and was infinitely more concerned that he should make a last " respectable " appearance in this world, on the scaffold, than for his welfare in the next.
Nothing would satisfy him but new clothes, a brand-new fustian frock, and a smart pair of pumps to die in. On the morning before the fatal April 17th he gave the hangman £3 10«. Orf., to be divided among five men, who were to follow him as mourners, and were to be furnished with black ...hat-bands and mourning gloves. When the time came, and he went in the tumbril to be turned off upon York's place of execution at Knavesmire, he bowed to the ladies and flourished his hat like a hero. It is true that when he had arrived at the tragic place his leg trembled, but he stamped it down impatiently. He talked for half an hour with the hangman, until the crowd began to grow impatient, but then mounted the ladder provided, and threw himself off in the most resolute fashion. He had the reward of his courage, for he died in a moment.
