To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His affection for his parents was perfect. When fifteen he addressed tothem letters of apostrophe, all in studied words of deference andcurious compliment, like, say, the letters of Columbus to Ferdinand andIsabella. His purity of purpose was sublime, and the jewel of his soulwas integrity.
At college he easily stood at the head of his class. He reduced calculusto its simplest forms, and made abstractions plain. Even his tutorscould not follow him. Once the King's actuary was called upon to ver...ifysome of his calculations. This brought him to the notice of the King, and thereafter he was always on easy and familiar terms with royalty. There is no hallucination in mathematics--figures do not lie, althoughmathematicians may, but this one never did.
We look in vain for college pranks, and some of those absurd andfoolish things in which young men delight. We wish he could unbend, andbe indiscreet, or even impolite, just to show us his humanity. But no, he is always grave, earnest, dignified, and rebukingly handsome.
