To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" ^ This is the function which Ruskin himself assigned to his work. He covered an immense range. His industry was colossal, but it was exceeded by his curiosity, his schemes, his attempts. The point is illustrated not only in the main course of this Biography, but in many of Ruskin's letters of humorous irony. 2 Of course he made mistakes. "It is strange, " he wrote to Professor Norton, "that I hardly ever get anything stated without some grave mistake, however true in my main discoveries. " Na...y, not strange; but inevitable, as he himself well knew. It was not al- together in irony that, in printing some specimens of his hand-writing, he said : " It would be difficult to give more distinct evidence than is furnished by these pieces of manuscript, of the incurably desultory character which has brought on me the curse of Reuben, ' Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel. ' But I reflect, hereupon, with resolute self-complacency, that water, when good, is a good thing, though it be not stable ; and that it may be better sometimes to irrigate than excel.
