To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The after-world will characterize the first moiety of our century as the age of steam.
I divide great poets into two classes -those whom 150 Memorials of WUlard Fiske you love and those whom you admire. Byron and Goethe are the types of the latter division and yet the two men are very and visibly different the one being impassioned and fiery, the other solid and dig- nified the one shadowing forth himself (dimly or distinctly) in all his creations, and the other view- ing and describing the wor...ld outside of his own mind and affections, writing, as his countrymen say, ob- jectively. We do not study any portion of a distin- guished man's personal history more willingly than that period which corresponds to our own age at the time. Thus I often fill up my hours of idleness by fancying to myself the younger days of these writers, whom I regard with either affection or wonder. I can imagine Byron, the passionate, way- ward youth the half-opened bud giving a clear in- dication of the color and kind of the future flower or can easily call up the form of Scott as a prying, studious boy, listening greedily to the odd and won- derful tales, and telling them again with new beau- ties.
