To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This great guild, divides into smaller ones or corporations, that is, into com- panies, each one with a guild master. In each of these guilds, those branches of industry are bound together, which are more or less related to each other ; for instance, braziers, brass founders and girdlers, in one ; masons, plasterers, stone- cutters, and stucco-workers, in another, &c.'' " I understand,*' interrupted the Prince, " but I ask again, of what use are these guilds and cor- porations ?" " I think, mos...t gracious Sir, to keep freedom of industry within proper limits, and confined to its proper purposes. Moderation is good in all things. "Why should not tradesmen, who carry on branches of business differing amongst each other, and yet closely connected, be permitted to pursue several at once? "Why should not the cabinet-maker be a glazier too, or the glazier a cabinet-maker : tlie bell-founder be a brazier too, or the brazier a bell-founder ? Good ! But in his guild he is- inscnbed, and by the government he has been patented, for that branch of industry only, in which he has shown himself well qualified, by information, ability, and a specimen of his skill, sent &om the workshop in wliich he had been ap- prenticed.
