To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Consider to whom the words which I quoted were spoken ; not to all the disciples, but to the Apostles who were about to wander over the world as missionaries. High above all occupations which have their beginning and end in the seventy years of mortal life, stand un- doubtedly the unproductive callings which belong to spiritual culture. Only, let not those who say we will devote ourselves to truth, to wisdom, to science, to art, expect to be rewarded with the wages of the other professions. Uni...versity education in England was devoted to spiritual culture, and assumed its present character in con- sequence ; but, as I told you before, it taught originally the accompanying necessary lesson of poverty. The ancient scholar lived, during his course, upon alms alms either from living patrons, or founders and benefactors. Lint the scale of his allowance provided for no indulgences ; either he learnt something besides his Latin, or he learnt to endure hardship. And if a University persists in teaching nothing but what it calls the Humanities, it is bound to insist also on rough clothing, hard beds, and common food.
