To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"Ordinary minds succumb to the epidemic.
Unusually strong minds overcome the toxic ele- ments of the time and recover. In their resist- ance they produce more antitoxin than they need 146 A LITERARY CLINIC for themselves. This can be used for the benefit of others.
" Thackeray could not have written the 'Book of Snobs,' if snobbery had not been a malady of his time which it required a special effort on his part to overcome.
"Plutarch's 'Lives' is a powerful antitoxin for the evils of imperialis...m. But Plutarch lived when the Roman Empire was at its height. Plu- tarch's men were not the men he saw around him. They stood for the stern republican virtues which were most opposed to the tendencies of his age.
"One great use of the antitoxins is in the treatment of various forms of bigotry." Bagster showed me a cabinet over which he had in- scribed the prayer of Father Taylor, "O Lord save us from bigotry and bad rum. Thou know- est which is worse." He had shelves labeled — Catholic Bigotry, Protestant Bigotry, Conservative Bigotry, Pro- gressive Bigotry, and the like.
