To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And as men whom nature puts in the fore-front of all other men are noted for a becoming simplicity of life and style, so the title-page that heralds all the inner pages of a book should be printed in a style of elegance severe and unadorned: no fancy type, except a line of Scribe Text, or Old English, — no italics, unless perchance a single-line motto in Pearl caps, — no bold-face type, nor Antique, nor Gothic, — but plain, clear, light-faced letters that seem the embodiment of the soul of thou...ght. All experienced printers incline to this simple style ; but pub- lishers sometimes interfere with this province of art legitimate only to a typographer, and insist on the indulgence of a taste which certainly owes no allegiance to any of the laws of beauty; and the printer or stereotyper who executes the book receives credit for a title-page which he would fain utterly repudiate.
