To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are many other reasons which might be alleged, besides the interests of the university, for discouraging the present system of professional private tuition : it forms a soiuce of income of the most uncertain and fluctuating kind, and. such as can never be reck- .oned upon as a secure provision for life ; and it does not form the best pre- paration for employments elsewhere connected with the business of educa- tion. The labour which it imposes is too absorbing and severe to allow of the s...imultaneous prosecution of original studies, and it generally terminates, even in the case of men in every way capable of forwarding the progress of science and learning, either in entire barrenness, or degenerates into the compilation of elementary works, des- tined for academical purposes, which though frequently elegant and com- pact, are totally destitute of original views. We feel satisfied that this un- happy system has contributed, more than any other cause, to the very general, and in some respects just, complaints which have been made of late years, of the paucity of works of learning and research which, have issued fi'om the university of Cam- bridge.
