To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And this LETTER. 71 work, prosecuted for some years, enables him at last, perhaps to say that he has contributed his share toward removing one more small chip from the block in which the ideal perfection is still locked up. The picture may excite admiration ; but certainly, seen from this point of view, there is nothing in it to invite emulation, or to promise ease. We admire, as we admire the elabora- tors of lexicons, and of concordances to the Holy Scrip tures. And when we see one man after ...another devoting his strength to this exhausting work, and wearing himself out in the patient scrutiny of the starry heavens, instead of regarding him as an idle squanderer of the time and talents that God has given him, ought we not to look upon him rather, as truly as we do on Galileo himself, as belonging to the number of those whom science may justly rank in her noble army of mar tyrs !
The fact that the state of refinement which prac tical astronomy has attained to-day is such, that the observations of to-night cannot be turned to immediate account to-morrow morning, but that the accumulated results of many observations are necessary to a single additional step of progress, is one which places the science at a great disadvantage, when its claims are canvassed in the world.
