To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But industry is of great use to execute what has been thought of and contrived by those who have knowledge and ingenuity: and, besides, there are many things that require very little skill, but are performed chiefly by industry. Let us return to the wharf where we saw the blocks of stone.
When they returned to the place, they observed a man who was sawing a thin slice from a block of stone : the 110 THE VISIT TO LONDON.
saw was fastened to a large wooden frame, which he moved continually backwa...rds and forwards. A tub was set on the top of the stone, from which water ran gently into the gap, and kept the saw from getting hot.
John. How tiresome it must be, Papa, to have to move that great frame backwards and forwards all day long : and you can hardly see that it cuts the stone at all. I think I would chop it, or something.
Father. No; it would be impossi- ble to chop the block into the flat pieces that are wanted. This block, you see, is lifted about, not by strength but by skill : it is cut into slices, not by skill but by industry.
