To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It consists nat only in the par- ticular beauty of singte parts, but arises fVom the general ayttimeiry and construction of the whole. An author mtj be just in his sentiments, lively in his figures, and clear in his expression ; yet may have no claim to be admitted in- to the rank of finished writers. The several member^ must be so agreeably united, as mutually to reflect beaatjj upon each other jf. their arraagement must be so happily. disposed, as not to admit of the least transposition wiih-...{ out manifest prejudice to the efntire piece. The thougbtf,. the metaphors, the allusions and the dietfon, should 8p*, pear easy and natural, and seem to arise like so ^^^ti spontaneous pa>ductions, rather than as the effects of aflt| or labour. J Whatever, therefore, is forced or affected in the scntM ments ; — whatever is pompous or pedantic in the expres^ 8ioB,«is the very reverse of Grace. Her mein is neitM that of a prude nor a coquette i she is regular without fof^ i mality, and sprightly without being fantastical.
