To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the same page ofthe volume was written the wish of a little child to have the starsfor playthings.
The most ordinary wish, that was written down with wearisomerecurrence, was, of course, for wealth, wealth, wealth, in sums froma few shillings up to unreckonable thousands. But in reality thisoften-repeated expression covered as many different desires. Wealthis the golden essence of the outward world, embodying almosteverything that exists beyond the limits of the soul; and thereforeit is the ...natural yearning for the life in the midst of which wefind ourselves, and of which gold is the condition of enjoyment, that men abridge into this general wish. Here and there, it is true, the volume testified to some heart so perverted as to desire goldfor its own sake. Many wished for power; a strange desire indeed, since it is but another form of slavery. Old people wished for thedelights of youth; a fop for a fashionable coat; an idle reader, fora new novel; a versifier, for a rhyme to some stubborn word; apainter, for Titian's secret of coloring; a prince, for a cottage; arepublican, for a kingdom and a palace; a libertine, for hisneighbor's wife; a man of palate, for green peas; and a poor man, for a crust of bread.
