To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It makes a man's body deformed aud contemptible, the voice horrid, the eyes cruel, the face pale or fiery, the gait fierce. It is neither manly nor ingenuous, and is a passion fitter for flies and wasps than for persons professing nobleness and bounty. It is a confluence of all the irregular pas- sions. There is in it envy and scorn, fear and sorrow, pride and prejudice, rashness and inconsideration, re- joicing in evil, and a desire to inflict it. "* Such is the portraiture of this disposition..., drawn by the hand of no mean artist. Let the passionate man look at the picture, and learn to hate it ; for, like an in- furiated serpent, it need only be seen to be abhorred.
Let us reject all excuses for the indulgence of it ; for so long as we palliate it, we shall not attempt to mortify it It cannot be defended, either on the ground of constitutional tendency, or the greatness of the provo- cation, or the suddenness of the offence, or the tran- sient duration of the fit, or that there is less evil in gusts of anger than hi seasons of sullenness : no nothing can justify it : and if we are sincere in our desires to control it, we shall admit that it is indefensible and criminal, and condemn it without hesitation or ex- tenuation.
