To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

His talents, which were great, were joined to an uncommon fluency of natural elocution. His progress in learning and the liberal arts exceeded the usual attainments of the age. But his mind was cast in a peculiar mould. Seques- tered habits, ascetic practices, devotional ardour, and the con- templation of celestial objects, could alone occupy his thoughts; and he became absorbed in these, till the world and all its concerns excited only his disgust; and he resolved entirely to abandon the busy ...scene of existence. Citeaux had been recently founded. Its austerities, its seclusion, its ascetic exercises, its lowly condition, and even its poverty, had charms for him; but he would not go alone, and it was his wish that others should be partakers of the happiness which he was about to enjoy. He had six brothers, many relations, and many friends, some of whom were established in the world, and all of whom had a fair prospect before them of fortune and distinction. To draw such men as these to the cells of Citeaux would be a noble triumph.
