To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If admiration were his chief aim, there would be nothing in him to admire. This is just what happens in the case of false, that is unmerited, fame ; for its recipient lives upon it without actually possessing the solid substratum of which fame is the outward and visible sign. False fame must often put its possessor out of conceit with him- self ; for the time may come when, in spite of the illusions born of self- love, he will feel giddy on the heights which he was never meant to climb, or look... upon himself as spurious coin ; and in the anguish of threatened discovery and well-merited degradation, he will read the sen- tence of posterity on the foreheads of the wise like a man who owes his property to a forged will. The truest fame, the fame that comes after death, is never heard of by its recipient ; and yet he is called a happy man. His happiness lay both in the possession of those great qualities which won him fame, and in the opportunity that was granted him of developing them the leisure he had to act as he pleased, to dedicate himself to his favorite pursuits.
