To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A geometrical *' puz- zle," traced by his hand, still appears on the stone. When be died, what became of his family, no one can tell. Nothing more is known of him than that he never quitted tlie wild place of his exile; that he continued to the day of his death to live con- tentedly with his wife and chil- dren, amid a civilized nation, ai\d during a civilized age, under such a shelter as would hardly serve the first savage tribes of the most savage country — ^to live, starving out poverty and ...want on a barren wild ; defying both to follow him among the desert rocks— to live, forsaking all things, enduring all things fo^ the love of Knowl^ge, which he could still nobly follow S through trials and extremities, without encouragement of fame or profit, without vantage ground of station or wealth, for its own dear sake. Beyond this, nothing but conjecture is left. The cell, the bed-place, the lines traced on the rocks, the inscription of the year in which he hewed his habi- tation out of them, are all the memorials that remain of a man, whose strange and striking story might worthily adorn the pages of a tragic yet glorious history which is still unwritten — the his- tory of the martyrs of knowledge in hiimble life !
