To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Incessant study loses its fancied severity by being universal and various. Mental exercise and mental enjoyment are perfected by diffusion as well as by concentration, and this remark is peculiarly appropriate to oratory. The mind of the orator should be directed to history, mathematics, metaphysics, poetry, music, painting-, and sculpture, in order that he may comprehend that intellectual relation, that secret charm in the liberal professions which, connecting one with an- other, combines the ...influence of all. Oratory is distinguished, because it requires, implies, and im- parts extensive knowledge. It is a mistake to suppose that accomplishment in speech indicates a want of accomplishment in thought; as, for instance, that a great speaker cannot be a great statesman, a great lawyer, or an eminent divine. Look at Pitt, and silver-tongued Murray, were they not great states- men ? Marshall, Pinkney, Webster, Brougham, Ers- kine, and Dupin, were among the greatest lawyers of their respective countries; yet their power of speech secured them more lame, fortune, and promotion, than Without it, all their law learning could have acquired.
