To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But sometimes the disadvantage was thoroughly overcome. Sometimes it served no other end than to draw to one point the attentionand the efforts of a determined will; and that matter in regard to whichNature seemed to have said that a man should fall short became the thingin which he attained unrivalled perfection.
A heavy drag-weight upon the powers of some men is the uncertainty oftheir powers. The man has not his powers at command. His mind is acapricious thing, that works when it pleases, an...d will not work exceptwhen it pleases. I am not thinking now of what to many is a saddisadvantage: that nervous trepidation which cannot be reasoned away, and which often deprives them of the full use of their mental abilitiesjust when they are most needed. It is a vast thing in a man's favor, that whatever he can do he should be able to do at any time, and todo at once. For want of coolness of mind, and that readiness whichgenerally goes with it, many a man cannot do himself justice; and in adeliberative assembly he may be entirely beaten by some flippant personwho has all his money (so to speak) in his pocket, while the other mustsend to the bank for his.
