To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Many and fragrant are the flowers strewn in this path ; but unless the mind be delicately alive to virtuous emotions, the flowers will be passed unheeded, and their fra- grance be unperceived. For want of this sharp- ened perception, how small is the improvement, though the number of readers is great. Indeed, whether we read books, or men, or the o^reat volume of nature, the same results follow fi^m a negligent or an indolent perusal. "In the visible creation of God, it is strikingly obvious, h...ow kw suffer the most sublime pheno- mena to arrest their notice. The most signal dis- plays of divine power and skill, are seen by ma- ny with listless apathy ; even the harmony of a system is considered by their grovelling minds with no more attention than they would bestow on the commonest piece of mechanism. " It is but of late that I have sensibly felt the want of a classical education. The motley vo- lumes which chance threw in my way, have in- deed been read with avidity, but the harvest I fearisbanen and fruitless.
