To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the class-room of the Linguist, the main work is interpretation. Here he constitutes a court, whose chan- cellor requires precision in making out the brief, and special plead- ing in applying the usages of language. These laws well applied, give stability to civil codes and constitu- tions. This discipline, applied in schools, and families, and church- es — to the Bible will insure all requisite unity of evidence, faith, and love. Translation has often been called the mere application of nam...es : words are not the names of things, except in the meager- est sense. The study of language is eminently a mental operation. We enter into the souls of other men ; we cultivate intimacy with things not seen, infinite and eternal. We are often thrown far back into other ages. We feel with David's heart — we behold with Isaiah's vision. The vale of Tempe and Mount Olympus excite emotions far differ- ent from those called up in contemplating the beauties of Carmel and the glory of Zion. Our own toiling slave awakens not the same tide of sensibility as Judah's captive daughter, whose harp is on the wil- lows of Babylon, who weeps as she remembers Zion.
