To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are as many vulgar fanatics as thereare distinguished ones, and I am not convinced that Dormant, coarse and narrow as he was, may not have sincerely believed thatit was better for the money to be used in religious propagandathan in the pleasures of the world, of which he doubtless formeda very vague idea. On this affair I meditated much, and itawakened in my mind, for the first time, a doubt whether ourexclusive system of ethics was an entirely salutary one, if itcould lead the conscience... of a believer to tolerate such acts asthese, acts which my Father himself had denounced asdishonourable and disgraceful. My stepmother brought with her a little library of such books aswe had not previously seen, but which yet were known to all theworld except us. Prominent among these was a set of the poems ofWalter Scott, and in his unwonted geniality and provisionalspirit of compromise, my Father must do no less than read theseworks aloud to my stepmother in the quiet spring evenings. Thiswas a sort of aftermath of courtship, a tribute of song to hisbride, very sentimental and pretty.
