To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We may thus partly account for the educational incongruities to which I have already adverted, as having arisen since 1867 through ill-directed efforts to make up for past neglect. For instance, one sees Science of heavy calibre weighing down Schools of Design which Science of a buoyant kind might have raised to still higher success. I could name a School of Art to which has been hooked a Course of Thirty Lectures on a single division of Chemistry, that of the non-metallic elements, and would l...eave to the conoscenti to foresee the end of such a beginning. Intellectual Food fit for University Students, cannot generally speaking be expected to suit the mental appetites of Men and Lads of the Working Classes ; neither are the vicissitudes of their condition compatible with Courses upon any subject, that " drag their slow length along" through a period of three years, leaving to chance which part a student may begin with, and making it very uncertain whether he can possibly attend the whole.
