To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Many things which cannot be effected by strength, or by the vulgar way of enterprising, may yet be brought about by some new and untried means. A man of sagacity and pene- tration, upon encountering a difficulty or two, D2 82 FABLE XXXIX. does not immediately despair ; but, if he can- not succeed one way, employs liis wit and in- genuity another ; and, to avoid or get over an impediment, makes no scruple of stepping out of the path of his forefathers. Since our hap- piness, next to the regulati...on of our minds, de- pends altogether upon our having and enjoying the conveniences of life, why should we stand upon ceremony about the methods of obtaining them, or pay any deference to antiquity upon that score ? If almost every age had not ex • erted itself in some new improvements of its own, we should want a thousand arts, or, at least, many degrees of perfection in every art, which at present we are in possession of. The invention of any thing which is more commo- dious for the mind or body than what they had before, ought to be embraced readily, and the projector of it distinguished with a suitable en- couragement.
