To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He is speaking of the year 1839, but I do not think matters have altered much since then. Mr. Mill says (' Essay on Liberty,' chap, iii.) of the governing class of England — meaning ' chiefly the middle class ' — ' Their thinking is done for them by men much like themselves, addressing them or speaking in their name on the spur of the mo- ment through the newspapers.' ' I am not,' he adds, 1 complaining of this. I do not assert that anything better is compatible as a general rule with the pre- ...sent low state of the human mind. But that does not hinder the government of mediocrity from being mediocre government No government by a demo- cracy or a numerous aristocracy either in its political acts or in the opinions, qualities, and tone of mind which it fosters ever did or ever could rise above mediocrity, except in so far as the sovereign many have let themselves be guided (which in their best times they always have done) by the counsels and influence of a more highly gifted and instructed one or few.' The parenthesis, I think, would apply chiefly to a few years in the history of Athens ; but be this as it may, 1 need not repeat the quotations which I have already made from the same chapter about the way in which ' society has now fairly got the better of the individual.' The substance of it is that we all live under a leaden rule of petty con- temptible opinions which crushes all individuality.
