To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Practice is no more than a repetition of what has been done before, without reference to advance. But though we often hear men claim to be altogether practical, and seem to flout theory as a misty vapor, yet, where is the practical man so dull, so careless of his welfare, so reckless of his duty to his family and his country, as not to be a theorist ? Permit me to take from this word an evil character, unjustly imposed ; to give to it its fair standing among us, that it may not be a stumbling b...lock to those who desire to advance in im- provement. Suppose, then, an agriculturist who, for ten years, has closely- followed the beaten track of his father ; suppose such a man blessed in full measure with a growing family, whose wants necessarily demand a larger outlay as years bring on the child towards adolescence ; his farm gives its accustomed yield from his accustomed practice, but not now in a ratio with the demands of his increasing family; prudence or necessity demands a change ; what change ?
