To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His own defence of such a style, even if he had lived much later, would be, that great dignity was necessary for prose composition. In accordance with this idea he set himself to purify the English language, and thought that he had, by his importation of new and rejection of old phrases, considerably added to its beauty. One of the most effective tricks of style which was introduced by him was, the laying down c 20 The Development of of one brief dictum on a subject first, and the subsequent am...plifi- cation in one or more longer sentences. In this he has been most happily imitated by Macaulay. This is often useful for purposes of exposition, but it also shews at times a tendency towards artificial bolstering, which ought always to be avoided Beyond a few mannerisms of this kind, and his use in some^ of his com- positions of an excessive quantity of Latinism, there seems to be little reason for the coining of such an upleasing word as " Johnsonese." The name was really given rather to what was believed to be the style of his conversation rather than to any- thing which he gave to the world in print.
