To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I made use of a Latin version, which was ad- vantageous to one of my age, but is never so in schools. All the works of Xenophon, the Memorabilia excepted, which I had studied before, I read four times in four months. I now thought that I could read any author with equal ease. I took up Demosthenes. I had a copy without a Latin translation. Darkness itself ! But I had learned not to be frightened in setting out. I went on. I found greater difficulties than I had ever had before, both in the word...s and in the length of the sentences. At last, with much ado, I reached the end of the first Olynthiac oration. I then read it a second and a third time. Every thing now appeared plain and clear. Still I did not yet perceive the fire of eloquence for which he is distinguished, I hesitated whether to proceed to the second oration or again read the first. I resolved to do the latter. How salutary are the effects of such a review ! As I read, an altogether new and unknown feeling took possession of me.
