To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Instead of any public and parochial edifice for scholarship, held forth to the view of the people, and constantly reminding them, as it were, of their duty, through the avenue of the senses, the only education for their children, which is accessible to them, is dealt out from the privacy of obscure garrets, or at most from the single hired apartment of a house, in no way signalised by its official destination, and deeply retired from observation amid the closeness and frequency of the poorest d...welling-places. These stations, too, whither children repair for their edu- cation, are constantly shifting; and the teacher^, being often unconnected by any ties of residence 16 or local vicinity with the parents, there is posi- tively, in spite of the sacredness of their, mutual trust, as little of the feeling of any moral rela- tionship between them, as there is between an ordinary shopkeeper and his customers. The very circumstance, too, of drawing his scholars from the widely scattered families of a town, instead of drawing them from the contiguous families of one of its parishes, slackens, among these parishes, the operation of that principle, which operates so powerfully among the imme- diate neighbours of a small country village, and where, in virtue of each doing as he sees others do, we behold so sure and so unfailing a cur- rency towards the established schoolmaster, on the part of all the population.
