To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Even Science, although remarkable for the absence of monopoly (3), is not cesthetic ; its immediate end is not pleasure (1), although remotely it brings pleasures and avoids pains; and it is too much associated with disagree- able toil in the acquisition (2). Wealth is obviously excluded from the SBsthetic class. So also is the delight of Power, which is not only a monopolist pleasure, but one that implies, in others, the opposite state of impotence or dependence. The pleasure of Affection is a...lso confined in its scope ; being, however, less confined, and le^B hostile to the interests of odicrs, than power. , BENStTAL ELEMENTS IN IDEA. 291 8.
