To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When anything unexpected and strange takes place, the attention of all persons is imme- diately directed towards it ; it is not a matter of indiffer- ence, but all are anxious to ascertain the cause. There is at least one class of writers whose prospects of being read depend in a great measure on the work- ings of this principle ; we refer to novelists and writers of romance. However commonplace may be their con- ceptions, and however uninteresting their style, if they lay the plan of their nov...el or romance with so much skill as strongly tc excite the curiosity, they can command readers. And this, imdoubtedly, is the whole secret of success in a multitude of cases. ^ 324. Further illustrations of the principle of curiosity. In further proof of the existence of this propensity a& a natural or implanted one, it may be proper to refer to the whole class of the Deaf and Dumb, and to those im- fortunate individuals who are blind as well as deaf and dumb These persons almost uniformly give the most striking indications of a desire to learn ; it seems to glow in their countenance, to inspire their gestures, and to urge them on wdth a sort of violence in their inquiries.
