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

& J. Burns (his brother James having been a partner with him), and on his retirement from business about a quarter of a century ago his mantle fell upon his eldest son, Mr. John Burns of Castle OUNARD STEAM SHIP COMPANY. 17 Wemyss, who has ever since been identified with the control of the Company's affairs. And here we may mention incidentally that his arduous duties in connec- tion with the Cunard Company have not prevented him from exercising a fostering care over the affairs of the coasting... business established by his father in 1824.
Since its origin, 107 steamers, aggregating 48,247 tons, have been built for the firm of G. & J. Burns, and their Irish mail line's and the line between Glasgow and Liverpool are notable for vessels of the best construc- tion, fastest speed, and most complete equipment. It is interesting to know that Mr. George Burns is yet alive, residing on his estate of Wemyss Bay, upon the Clyde ; and, although in the ninety-first year of his age, is still in the enjoyment of excellent health and unim- paired mental powers.
