To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I envy no quality of the mind or intellect in others ; be it genius, power, wit, or fancy : but if I could choose what would be most delightful, and I believe most useful to me, I should prefer a firm religious belief to every other blessing ; for it makes life a dis- cipline of goodness ; creates new hopes, when all earthly hopes vanish ; and throws over the decay, the destruction of existence, the most gorgeous of all lights ; awakens life even in death, and from corruption and decay calls up... beauty and divinity ; makes an instrument of torture and of shame the ladder of ascent to paradise : and, far above all combinations of earthly hopes, calls up the most delightful visions of palms and amaranths, the gardens of the blest, the security of everlasting joys, where the sensualist and the sceptic view only gloom, decay, annihilation, and despair !^ 156 SALMONIA. POIET. You transiently referred, Halieus, yesterday, to that instinct of salmons which induces them to run up rivers from the sea on the approach of rain.
