To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
52. Notably, within the last hundred years, all religion has perished from the practically active national mind of France and England. No statesman in the senate of either country would dare to use a sentence out of their acceptedly divine Kevelation, as having now a literal authority over them for their guidance, or even a sug- gestive wisdom for their contemplation. England, es- pecially, has cast her Bible full in the face of her former God ; and proclaimed, with open challenge to Him, her r...esolved worship of His declared enemy. Mammon. All the arts, therefore, founded on religion, and sculpture chiefly, are here in England effete and corrupt, to a degree which arts never were hitherto in the history of mankind: and it is possible to show you the condition of sculpture living, and sculpture dead, in accurate opposition, by simply comparing the nascent Pisan school in Italy with the existing school in England.
53. You were perhaps surprised at my placing in your educational series, as a type of original Italian sculpture, the pulpit by Niccola Pisano in the Duomo of Siena.
