To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All these topics and many more, nearly related, pre- sent themselves to the enlightened and philanthropic mind, as it looks abroad from some commanding emi- nence, or ranges . At leisure over the wide and busy fields of human improvement. It must be obvious, however, upon a moment's reflection, that it would take many a long day to traverse a space so ample; to drink of every Castalian fountain in the way; to take the altitudes of Parnassus; to measure the steeps of science; and to see what is ...going forward in a thou- sand splendid literary halls and wonder working labora- tories. How little then, can be done within the brief hour, which is alloted to the present exercises. Upon many very interesting objects and enclosures we can scarcely bestow a passing glance, and can linger for a few moments only, where most we might love to dwell, or at least to sit down at our leisure and enjoy the goodly prospect. In treating of education, we may advantageously divide the subject, into the three great branches, of physical, intellectual and moral improvement.
