To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In their common perusal of books, singling out the errors and defects, the nauseous, the fulsome, the dull, and the impertinent, with the cau- P^tion of a man that walks through Edinburgh streets in a morning, who is indeed as careful as he can to watch diligently, and spy out the filth in his way ; not that he is curious to observe the colour and complexion of the ordure, or take its dimensions, much less to be paddling in, or tasting it ; but only with a design to come out as cleanly as he ma...y. These men seem, though very erroneously, to have understood the appellation of critic in a literal sense ; that one principal part of his office was to praise and acquit ; and that a critic, who sets up to read only for an occasion of censure and reproof, is a creature as barbarous as a judge, who should take up A DIGRESSION CONCERNING CRITiaS 437 a resolution to hang all men that came before him upon a trial.
Again, by the word critic have been meant, the re- storers of ancient learning from the worms, and graves, and dust of manuscripts.
