To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Uncle Tom's Cabin has been translated into many languages, and has been more universally read in Europe than any other modern work. In Great Britain Longfellow is with the mass of readers, not the select few, the most popular of living poets, and Poe, Irving, Prescott, Emerson, Motley, Hawthorne, and others are read and admired. Still it has been said, and must be admitted to be true, that no great original genius has yet appeared in the United States. We have had no Shakspeare nor Milton nor B...yron nor Burns nor Tennyson, no Scott nor Thackeray 18 nor Dickens, no Bacon nor Locke nor Newton, anJ among all our clever and strong-minded women we have had no Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Great geniuses indeed are rare and special gifts of God, or, at least, their appear- ance is regulated by a law which we do not under- stand, for they will not come at our bidding, and cannot be created by any system of education or training what- ever ; but when sent they may perish from want of culture and nourishment, as the hardiest plants as well as the loveliest flowers require a congenial soil and climate, and may be scorched by the sunshine, or nipped by the frost, or starved on the barren rock.
