To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
mind by external objects through one of the two higher senses, Sight and Hearing, and more particu- larly Sight The pleasure arises in connection with the perception or recognition of some agreeable feature or quality in the object. The most general name for this quality is beauty. But this term really answers to a variety of features any one of which may excite this species of pleasure. Thus we speak of the beauty of a colour, meaning its brilliance or purity : of a statue, meaning its gracefu...l lines, and its proportions of form, and so on. These aspects or features of objects have this in common that they excite a peculiar feeling of delight in the spectator's mind. The distinguishing peculiarity of this aesthetic pleasure is that it springs immediately out of the act of contemplation itself and involves no relation (save that of spectator) betweai the subject and the object The mother's delight in gazing on her child, even the gem-collector's delight in looking at his treasures, is not a purely aesthetk feeling.
