To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Even if the company you keep be not of the libertine or vicious kind, yet if they with- draw you from that atteotion to yourselves and your domestic concerns which becomes a good man, they are unprofitable, and may prove very injurious.
There is a class of young men who think to distinguish themselves by an air of liber- tinism ; but it degrades them in the opinion of sensible persons. It proves not a superi- ority of mind, but depravity of heart. Purity of manners, and respect for religion, ar...e neces- sary to those who would wish to be respected by worthy people. Virtue exalts the con- dition of man, as vice degrades it. The basis of happiness is peace of mind, resulting from the testimony of a good conscience.
It is our duty, as well as interest, to endea- vor to promote intellectual and moral im- provement in conversation, and to bring into it a disposition to bear with others, and to be watchful over ourselves. Seek not to shine. Remember that simplicity, accom- panied with a pleasing mildness and proper regard for others' feelings, is the first charm in manner, as truth is in mind.
