To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In its more lofty kinds there have been few additions, and epic song has seldom been heard, and v/lien heard, has fallen on the ear faint and weak, compared with former times. But in its less elevated forms, poetry has partaken of the changes and the progress of the period ; the formal and artificial versification of the preceding age has given place to more varied, sprightly, natural, yet equally dignified measures ; the harp has been struck in a novel style by master hands, each with a genius... and manner peculiar to himself, and in all respects worthy compeers of the bards of former days, claiming equal rank on the bright roll of poetic fame.
With these exceptions, the general literature of the period, though it has experienced changes and in some respects has undergone an entire revolution, is not improved. Much 44 of It is mere trash ; much Hcentlous and profligate in its tone and tendency ; all light and trifling and uninstructive ; partaking very much of the unsubstantial and evaporable nature of the mighty agent, which, of late years, in its application to the machinery of the paper mill and printing press and the common means of transportation and locomo- tion, facilitates its multiplication, and gives vent and wings to its crude, barren, indigested and too often mischievous and poisonous eff'usions.
