To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His subdued andnerveless boyhood prefigured his abortive prime, which likewisecontained within itself the prophecy and image of his lean andtorpid age. He was perhaps a mechanic, who never came to be amaster in his craft, or a petty tradesman, rubbing onward betweenpassably to do and poverty. Possibly he may look back to somebrilliant epoch of his career when there were a hundred or two ofdollars to his credit in the Savings Bank. Such must have been theextent of his better fortune, --his littl...e measure of this world'striumphs, --all that he has known of success. A meek, downcast, humble, uncomplaining creature, he probably has never felt himselfentitled to more than so much of the gifts of Providence. Is it notstill something that he has never held out his hand for charity, norhas yet been driven to that sad home and household of Earth'sforlorn and broken-spirited children, the almshouse? He cherishesno quarrel, therefore, with his destiny, nor with the Author of it. All is as it should be.
