To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is not easy to conceive of a more effectual way of spread- ing a refined taste through a community. The drama, undoubtedly, appeals more strongly to the passions than recitation ; but the latter brings out the meaning of the author more. Shakespeare, worthily recited, would be better understood than on the stage. Then, in recitation, we escape the weariness of listening to poor perform- ers, who, after all, fill up most of the time at the theatre. Recitation, sufficiently varied, so as to in...clude pieces of chaste wit, as well of pathos, beauty and sublimity, is adapted AtfORESS. 61 to our present intellectual progress, as much as the drama falls below it. Should this exhibition be introduced among us success- fully, the result would be, that the power of recitation would be extensively called forth, and this would be added to our social and domestic pleasures. I have spoken in this discourse of intel- lectual culture, as a defence against intem- perance, by giving force and elevation to the mind.
