To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For ob- vious reasons, we made no attempt at classification or arrangement, either in reference to reputation or our own private opinion of merit. Our second article will be found to contain as many of the Dii majorum gentium as our first; and this, our third and last, as many as either, — although fewer names, upon the whole than the preceding papers. The impossibility of procuring the signatures now given, at a period sufficiently early for the immense edition of December, has obliged us to i...ntroduce this Appendix. It is with great pleasure that we have found our anticipations fulfilled in respect to the popularity of these chapters, — our individual claim to merit is so trivial that we may be permitted to say so much, — but we confess that it was with no less surprise than pleasure that we observed so little discrepancy of opinion manifested in relation to the hasty critical, or, rather, gossiping, observations which accompanied the signatures. Where the subject was so wide and so necessarily personal, — where the claims of more than one hundred literati, summarily disposed of, were turned over for readjudication to a press so intricately bound up in their interests as is ours, — it is really surprising how little of dissent was mingled with so much of general comment.
