To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Patrick, who, when a man had stolen some mut- ton, detected the thief by making the sheep bleat in his inside. (T. L. ) [33] In writing to Mrs. Hughes on the 29th of April, 1837, Mr. Barham refers to this, probably the most popular of legends, in the following terms: " I have no time to do more for this number [of " Bentley's Miscellany "] than scratch off a doggerel version of an old Catholic legend that I picked up out of a high Dutch author. I am afraid the poor 'Jackdaw ' will be sadly peck...ed at. Had I more time I meant to have engrafted on it a story I have heard Cannon tell of a magpie of his acquaint- ance. " The story is given at length in the " Life and Letters, " vol, 2, p. 21.
In a subsequent letter to Mr. Bentley he says: "I am glad you like the 'Jackdaw ' ; it was struck off at a heat and almost in despair, when I found it impossible to finish the other article [ "The Spectre of Tapping- ton" ?] in time. " Happily for the present generation, the memory of Mr. Rice, the great American comedian, and his in- terminable "nigger" song, "Jim Crow, " has passed away.
