To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
all that we pos- aesSf the improvement required of us is according to the talent committed to our care. Much is therefore expected of him who has the means of attaining the highest intellectual and moral ad- vancement. He is not to look down with a feeling of pride, up- on other employments or conditions of life, as if they were in- ferior; but comparing himself with the most diligent in each — to examine whether he has equally with them improved the talents and opportunities vouchsafed to him ...— whether, in the race of honest exertion — the only generous competition that all can en- gage in — he has equalled, or excelled them — whether he has better or worse fulfilled the duty he owes to his day and ge- neration. The humblest labourer, who strenuously performs his daily task, and honestly provides an independent subsistence for himself and his family, is inconceivably superior to the sluggard andidler, though the latter may have had the opportunity of education in a seminary of learning.
