To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And this is the origin of that laughter which is excited by wit, humour, buffoonery, &c.
But this species of laughter abates also by degrees, as the other before considered did, and, in general, for the same causes; so that adults, and especially those that are judges of politeness and propriety, laugh only at such strokes of wit and humour, as T 2 • 276 . THE PLEASURES AND surprise by some more than ordinary degree of contrast or coincidence ; and have at the same time a due connexion with ple...asure and pain, and their several associations of fitness, decency, inconsistency, absurdity, honour, shame, virtue, and vice ; so as neither to be too glaring on the one band, nor too faint on the other. In the first case, the representation raises dislike and abhorrence ; in the last, it becomes insipid.
From hence may be seen, that in difierent persons the occa- sions of laughter must be as diiTerent as their opinions and dispositions ; that low similitudes, allusions, contrasts, and coinci- dences, applied to grave and serious subjects, must occasion the most profuse laughter in persons of light minds; and, conversely, increase t])is levity of mind, and weaken the regard due to things sacred; that the vices of gluttony, lewdness, vain-glory, self- conceit, and covetousness, with the concomitant pleasures and pains, hopes, fears, dangers, &c.
