To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Despite its gloomy hue, it has almostbecome a sacred color among Christian nations, being worn as the dressof the priest in his ministerial office, and doubly hallowed from itsassociation with the dead. Black, as an ornamental color, should be below all others, for artisticeffect. An artistic dressmaker places the dark or black plaids orstripes beneath the others. This natural correspondence is almostuniversally recognized among enlightened nations in clothing for thefeet. They not only look sm...aller and more tasteful in black shoes thanin colored, but economy also sanctions them as more useful. Theuniversal tendency of the nineteenth century is to utilitarianism; theone question asked is: What is the use? and in use is beauty ever found. Ethnological investigation shows that black or dark-colored races haveinvariably preceded settlement by the whites. This is in accordance withthe law of color above laid down, viz. , that, _artistically_, black isbelow the other colors (and now, in order that I may not bemisunderstood, I explicitly say that because, _artistically_, black isthe lowest color, it by no means follows that I deem black or olive oryellow races subjects for slavery, or unworthy of social and politicalrights).
