To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The mind of a desultory unmethodical reader resembles the scrawled paper : it imbibes partially, it retains inaccu- rately, it represents erroneously, whatever is committed to its care. When the Kaleidoscope was first invented, it was thought likely to prove a useful auxiliary to the art of design in suggesting, by accidental collocations of form and colour, more ingenious and happy de- vices than study and rules supplied. But the patterns of the Kaleidoscope proved too arbitrary for the order ...and harmony which grace and even usefulness demand, and, accordingly, the tube, with its shifting incoherencies, has continued to be a child's toy. The wandering mind is little better than a Kaleidoscope : shadows of thought pass over it, glimpses of meaning flash upon it ; but the shadow and the glimpse are as unsubstantial and fleet- ing as the clouds upon a hill side, or the bubbles on a running stream. The perception of this truth has led all founders of systematic education, from the colleges of " Babylon and great Al-Cairo " downwards, to insist upon method as the key of knowledge.
