To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They who do not, belong, I think, to the class whom Burns characterizes as "the real hardened wicked, " and it is wholesome to persuade ourselves that they are likewise " to a few restricked. " When Thack- eray says, somewhere, that he never saw a fine boy, but he felt like giving him a guinea, he does not, I am sure, exaggerate the natural impulse of every healthy and manly heart. There are many, to whom this sort of impulse is a general, spon- taneous and often fatal rule of life. Some indeed... and a large class, give because they cannot help it. Giving, with them, is almost a pleasure of sense. It is the natural expression of a feel- ing as weeping and sighing are with others. It is at once the voice and the tear of their sympathy. The heart sends its quickened pulsa- tion directly to the hand, which only fetters could keep from the purse-strings. And this, too fre- quently, without check of prudence, or choice of object, or thought of to-morrow. We are apt to admire and indeed to love these people; for, to the common apprehension, the pleasure and advantage 24 of keeping money are so striking, that to part with it, freely, passes for a sacrifice.
