To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Let the poor wretch sleep ! And then, Lamb's method of setting forth his fancies is as peculiar as the fancies themselves. He was a modern man only by the accident of birth ; and his style is only modern by the same accident. It is full of the quaintest convolutions and doublings back upon itself ; and ever and again a para- graph is closed by a sentence of unexpected rhetorical richness, like heavy golden fringe depending from the velvet of the altar cover — a trick which he learned from the "... Religio Medici, " and the "Urn Burial. " As a critic, too. Lamb takes a high place. His " Essay on the Genius of Hogarth " is a triumphant vindica- tion of that master's claim to the highest place of honour in British art; and. In it he sets forth the doctrine, that a picture must not be judged by externals of colour, nor by manipu- lative dexterity — v^aluablc as these unques- tionably are — but by the number and value of BSSAVISTS, OLD AND NEW. 229 the thoughts it contains; a doctrine which Mr Ruskin has borrowed, and has used with results.
