To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thrice did the head of this great house match immediately with the royal blood.
Such was the dignity of the Earl of Crawford, and such the extent of his power and the grandeur of his alliances in the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth centuries. Let us now contemplate the fortunes of two of the principal members of this illustrious race, in the course of revolving generations.
On the 9th of February, in the year 1621, died a pri- soner in Edinburgh Castle, David, twelfth Earl of Craw- ford. ...Reckless, prodigal, and desperate, he had alienated the possessions of his earldom, so as to reduce the family to the brink of ruin. He had no sons, and to prevent further dilapidation, the agnates of the house deter- mined, in solemn council, to imprison him for life. He was accordingly confined, the victim of his own folly and of this family conspiracy, in the castle of Edinburgh until his death. Lie left an only orphan child, the Lady Jean, heiress of line of the Earl of Crawford. This wretched girl, destitute and uncared for, was doomed to undergo the deepest humiliation.
