To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Make yourself noble, and you shall be. Do you long for the conversation of the wise ? Learn to understand it, and you shall hear it. But on other terms? no. If you will not rise to us, we cannot stoop to you. The living lord may assume courtesy, the living philosopher explain his thought to you with con- siderable pain ; but here we neither feign nor interpret ; you must rise to the level of our thoughts if you would be gladdened by them, and share our feelings, if you would recognise our prese...nce. " . . .
I say first we have despised literature. What do we, as a nation, care about books? How much do JOHN R US KIN. 37) you think we spend altogether on our libraries, public or private, as compared with what we spend on out horses ? If a man spends lavishly on his library, you call him mad a biblio-maniac. But you never call any one a horse-maniac, though men ruin themselves every day by their horses, and you do not hear of people ruining themselves by their books. Or, to go lower still, how much do you think the contents of the bookshelves of the United Kingdom, public and private, would fetch, as compared with the contents of its wine cellars ?
