To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A man may, without a presumptuous estimate of his talents, or the expectation of passing through any course of unex- ampled events, indulge the ambition to resemble and follow, in the essential determination of their charac- ters, those sublime spirits who are now removed to the kingdom where they are to " shine as the stars for ever and ever, " and those yet on earth who are evidently on their way to the same illustrious end. A striking departure from the order of custom in the rank to which a... man belongs, exhibited in his de- voting the privileges of that rank to a mode of excel- lence which the generality of the people who compose it never dream to be a duty, will by them be denom- inated and scouted as romantic. They will wonder why a man who ought to be like themselves, should affect quite a different style of life, a deserte- and alien from the reign of fashion, should attempt Uiiusual plans of doing good, and should put himself under. Some extra- ordinary discipline of virtue — while yet every point in his system may be a dictate of reason and conscience, speaking in a voice heard by him alone.
