To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
113 sible and familiar to every educated person. Art, when limited to such works as can be bought only by the very rich, becomes little better than the concomitant of French cookery, dresses from Worth, and hideously set diamonds : an object of ostentatious luxury ; whereas if only a little of the artistic power concentrated in such work could be bestowed upon things of easy mul- tiplication, small price, and ordinary use, it would not only bring pleasure into many lives in which pleasure is as... scarce as flowers in a close, smoky town, but also train innumerable men and women into an habitual perception of beauty, without which they must wander through all the galleries provided for them by the nation with mere vacant, unfamiliar wonder, and leave them as poor of durable artistic im- pressions as they entered them. There are, doubtless, many things for which the writer must always envy the artist, greater f. -eedorn and charm of impression, and 114 JUVENILIA. The ineffably delightful sense that he is reproducing and not merely reminding, showing and not merely suggesting; yet the writer has a more than compensating satisfaction in the thought that if pleasure he can give at all, he will give it to thousands of distant, unknown, pleasure- poor people ; and this sort of feeling can nowadays, when little is to be done in the way of public monuments, be got by the artist only by condescending or in reality rising to the level of such designing as can either be largely diffused for household properties or as can be indefinitely multi- plied and put within reach of all, as in illustrations, Christmas cards, toy-books, and similar humble things.
