To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Cicero had read all his predecessors and weighed carefully what was worthy of sanction or censure in each; yet you would not recognize any one of them in particular in Cicero but the force . of a mind animated by the thoughts of them all. If Cicero's method is not convincing, let us consider an example from nature. Do bees gather the material for their honeycomb from one shrub? Do they not rather fly about all kinds of flowers, shrubs, bushes, with wonderful zeal, fre- quently seeking from afar... what they may store in their hive? Nor is what they bring straightway honey. They fashion a liquid with their organs, and after it is made their own, they give that forth in which you do not recognize the taste or the odor of flower or shrub but a product mingled in due propor- tion from them all. Nor do the she-goats feed upon one kind of foUage that they may give milk like only to these; but they feed on every kind of leaf and give forth not the juice of herbs but milk transformed from them. No.
