To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The London theatres, excepting in the case of occasional and accidental runs upon a particular piece, or a particular actor, are uniformly misera- ble speculations to the proprietors ; and it will be found, that even the poor support which the thea- tres in London get, is given them, not by the people of London so much as by the vast concourse of strangers who feel at a loss how to spend their evenings. Before the people, either of the Athens, or of any other part of the British dominions, can ...become theatrical, they must have a little more THE MODERN ATHENS.
121 relaxation from hard labour than they can at present command. The national debt, and the immense public establishments, are the real causes why there are not only no Shakspeares now, but why the heroes of the old Shakspeare have given place to the wooden or real horses of a more buf- fooning race. The people must not only work, but work hard, during the live-long day ; and when they have an hour which they can snatch from the abridged civilities of social life, for the purpose of looking at a theatrical exhibition, they very natu- rally prefer that which costs them no labour of thought and which makes them laugh, to that which would impose upon them fatigue of the mind in addition to fatigue of the body.
