To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The severity, therefore, of his criticism, fyis satire, his ridicule, his wit, resulted from this element of truth. As another has so happily expressed it, his shafts were effective, not because they were poisoned, but because they hit the mark. There is also a criticism which pertains to style. In this his taste was cultivated, but just. An inflated, bom- bastic style contained no worthy substance. Great words were out of place when they were applied to little things. 42 Indeed, great words we...re always suspicious things to him. He preferred to let the clear thoughts of the mind find their utterance in simple language, language that should attract no attention, but act only as a minister to transfer the thought to the minds of others. The thoughts might be beautiful, imaginative, poetic, cheerful or playful, as well as grave he could enjoy all, but he would require language always to play a subordinate part. Of course he found a field for his criticism in his place as a teacher, and his usefulness in that field cannot easily be estimated.
