To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To correct our natural impatience of suspense is one great end of scholastic pursuits ; and in consequence, those studies which inure the mind to the fatigue of un- prejudiced deliberation have always been considered, even irrespectively of their immediate end, as of high im- portance. But suspense, simply considered, can never become agreeable. It may be familiarized by custom, and made the companion of our highest pleasures, but it cannot possibly be welcome upon its own account. The pleasure..., for example, excited in the mind of a novel reader by an intricate plot, or that of a mathe- matician by an abstruse series of demonstrations, though necessarily connected with suspense, does not arise im- mediately from it ; for if so, how much soever each of these characters might be interested in his subject, he would never desire to arrive at the conclusion, since his pleasure, which, on diis supposition, is contempo- rary with his suspense, and dependent upon it, would be thus entirely destroyed.
