To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Taken as such, its unity is perfect. A general harmony pervades it, and blends in one accordant whole, all the various and apparently disconnected parts which enter into its com- 13 position. It assumes the dramatic aspect of a single life, and ages with all their changes, and society in all its complex relations, may be drawn with the justness of proportion and truth of color- ing, which seemed to belong only to the individual. Thus the laws of the moral universe are brought to light, the pres...ent is connected more intimately and more directly with the past, and we are reconciled, by the lesson of history, to a thousand things, which, when considered as insulated facts, filled our minds with doubt and dismay. And if it were not digressing too far, I would pause for a moment to remark the singular accord which prevails between the historical schools of our age, and the schools of art ; so true is it that history is ever in harmony with the spirit of the age, contri- buting by her lessons to the fulness of its development, and pre- serving all its characteristic features in her forms.
