To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I only ask them to put their social feelings and their animal impulses under the controul of their reason, and not to wreck their own happiness and that of others, by disregarding the plainest dictates of prudence. I shall sketch an ideal picture of the provision which I think a considerate labourer or tradesman ought to make against the accidents and misfortunes of life. I call it ideal, though I see nothing in it which may not be ren- dered practical in a well ordered society ; and in the mea...n time it may serve as a standard to which the work- ing classes may approach, in proportion as education is diffused, and they get clearer views of their condition. Jt will equally apply to the middle ranks. 8 Nineteen-twentieths of the poverty and misery which we see in the world arise from some species of improvi- dence, that is, from neglect of health, from want of dili- gence in improving the advantages we possess, or from want of due care in providing against those accidents which every one knows he is exposed to ; and this im- providence again has its root, to no small extent, in our ignorance of the true conditions of our existence, and the laws of our nature.
