To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Though in jest he toasted Napoleon for having " shot a bookseller," he seems to have been treated with uniform liberality by his publishers. His memory was well stored with passages from the ancient and modern classics. Greek verses he could repeat thirty or forty in succession, and with the same facility from the English and Italian poets. With French literature he was not so conversant, and the writers in that language he seldom quoted. He was exceedingly fastidious with reference to his own ...productions. He was not satis- fied with efiect, but sought to finish and polish till he sometimes impaired and enfeebled his poems. Many of his poems, as they are now printed, are very difierent from the original impressions. His retouches, however, were chiefly designed to render his verse more complete, or to improve the verbal expression of a thought. Errors of description or in natural history, such as abound in Gertrude of Wyoming, he never corrected. Except in the ease of The Pleasures of Hope, he consulted no one before publication.
