To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Foreigners do not only come to visit Paris; theycome there to live. At the present day we have in Paris a Russiancolony, a Spanish colony, a Levantine colony, an American colony. The foreigners have already conquered from us the greater part of theChamps-Elysees and the Boulevard Malesherbes; they advance, they extendtheir outworks; we retreat, pressed back by the invaders; we are obligedto expatriate ourselves. We have begun to found Parisian colonies inthe plains of Passy, in the plain of Mon...ceau, in quarters which formerlywere not Paris at all, and which are not quite even now. Among theforeign colonies, the richest, the most populous, the most brilliant, is the American colony. There is a moment when an American feels himselfrich enough, a Frenchman never. The American then stops, draws breath, and while still husbanding the capital, no longer spares the income. Heknows how to spend, the Frenchman knows only how to save.
The Frenchman has only one real luxury--his revolutions. Prudently andwisely he reserves himself for them, knowing well that they willcost France dear, but that, at the same time, they will furnish theopportunity for advantageous investments.
