To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Further etill, he fiods that men in general will not act on high motives, in epite of all that divines and moralists profess. ; and his experience of this urges him, till he begins to think it unwise and extravagant to insist upon the mass of mankind doing so, or to preach high morals and high doc- trines ; and at length he looks on the religious system of his youth as beautiful indeed in itself, and practi- cal perhaps in private life, and useful for the lower classes, but as utterly unfit for... those who live iu the world ; and, while unwilling to confess this, lest he should set a bad example, he tacitly concedes it, never is the champion of Lis professed principles when assailed, nor acts upon them in an honest way in the a,ffairs of life.
Or, should he be led by a speculative turn of mind, or a natural philanthropy, to investigate the nature of man, or exert himself in plans for the amelioration of society, then his opinions become ultimately im- pressed with the character of a more definite unbelief.
