To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I would answer, Yes! if all the men could be born thirty years of age. But as youth willalways be too forward and old age too backward, the really mature man isalways hemmed in between them, and has to resort to strange devices tomake his way through. The most important matters of feeling as of reason, of experience as ofreflection, should be treated of only by word of mouth. The spoken wordat once dies if it is not kept alive by some other word following on itand suited to the hearer. Observe ...what happens in social converse. Ifthe word is not dead when it reaches the hearer, he murders it at onceby a contradiction, a stipulation, a condition, a digression, aninterruption, and all the thousand tricks of conversation. With thewritten word the case is still worse. No one cares to read anything towhich he is not already to some extent accustomed; he demands the knownand the familiar under an altered form. Still, the written word has thisadvantage, that it lasts and can await the time when it is allowed totake effect.
