To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is SELFISHNESS in its worst most imprac- ticable form. It takes man away from the high dignity of 11 organic membership, and makes him a fragment, of what — a ruined, disordered, corrupt and corrupting mass. These men talk much of the great progress of the age, and of our rapid advance, on all the ages that have preceded. If by progress be meant, better knowledge of the organic laws of mat- ter, and their application to practical human use, and a more perfect control of matter itself, then t...he point is at once admit- ted. If it mean, steam, railroads, telegraphs, and abundance of school books, newspapers and daguerreotypes, I do not hesi- tate still, — not to mention, mesmerism, " mysterious knockings," and womens' rights conventions, and other profound follies. But are we making great progress in all other respects ? Are we a more moral, peaceable people? Are we more law abiding? — Are we more rational and less animal now, than in the earlier days of our republic ? Are we more disposed than formerly to bring great questions up to the eternal rule of right and wrong ?
