To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was easy to close the palace door against the stranger, but it was impossible to stifle, by an imperial edict, the stirrings of genius. The autocrat went down, but steam went up and Fulton's fame rose with it. Appended to Goldsmith's beautiful poem, " the Traveller, " are a few pithy lines penned by Dr. Johnson. Among them are the following : " In every government thouirh terror reign, Though tyrant kings or tymnt laws restrain, How small of all that human hearts endure That part which laws ...or kings can cause or cure. " This is sheer stoicism. To hearts panting for great deeds ; to brains teeming with new discoveries ; to hands full of latent enterprise, it is unspeakably fallacious. Tyrants and laws have often arrested the march of improvement, stifled the voice of freedom, crushed the defenders of liberty and extinguished hope in brave hearts. Ignorant tyrants and unequal laws have often stamped their age with immobiUty and moral death. IMonopo- lies, privileges, titles and corporate trusts in perpetuity, have been the agencies by which the hand of industry has been crippled.
