To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Johnson was not accu- rately informed when he wrote his friend's epitaph, as it stands in West- minster-abbey; in which it is said that Goldsmith was born IN LOCO CUI NO- MEN Pallas: an error that has given rise to a strange conceit on the part of the absurd translator of the Latin, who observes that the place in question was one zvhere Pallas had set her name ! To many, this investigation will ap- pear impertinent and immaterial: there 152 are some, however, who will think otherwise of it, and... allow that it is de- sirable to know even the most trivial cir- cumstance connected with the life of one whose writings are destined to de- light and improve mankind hereafter, and whose private history will probably form an object of eager inquiry to gene- rations yet unborn. Upon the subject of novels I have, as I conceive, said air that belongs to the nature of this Essay, designedly thrown 153 off in a plain, brief, and popular man- ner, in order to afford it the better chance of being read and remembered by those for whose use it is intended.
