To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I am glad to join in, or to witness, a honest hearty laugh, when anything really calls for it. Beware, however, of the practice of laughingwhen there is nothing to laugh at. Some people fall into a way of givingthe accompaniment of a laugh to almost every thing that they utter, especially if they have any direct intention to be jocular. This habitis disagreeable to most of those who witness it. It proceeds, I believe, generally from a sort of shyness and awkwardness contracted in earlyyouth, an...d is, as I know from experience, difficult to get rid of. Itcertainly is inconsistent with the manners and habits of good society. Be always the last to laugh at your own jokes, or your own _good_stories. If they are really worth laughing at, the company will find itout, and by premature or excessive laughter you will mar their effect. As you get on in society, you will probably often fall into discussionand argument. When this is the case, take care not to be too positive orperemptory in your manner.
