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

" But the condition of individuals is very little mended by thisgeneral calm: pain and malice and discontent still continue theirhavock; the silent depredation goes incessantly forward; and the gravecontinues to be filled by the victims of sorrow.
He that enters a gay assembly, beholds the cheerfulness displayed inevery countenance, and finds all sitting vacant and disengaged, with noother attention than to give or to receive pleasure, would naturallyimagine, that he had reached at last the met
...ropolis of felicity, theplace sacred to gladness of heart, from whence all fear and anxiety wereirreversibly excluded. Such, indeed, we may often find to be the opinionof those, who from a lower station look up to the pomp and gaiety whichthey cannot reach: but who is there of those who frequent theseluxurious assemblies, that will not confess his own uneasiness, orcannot recount the vexations and distresses that prey upon the lives ofhis gay companions?
The world, in its best state, is nothing more than a larger assembly ofbeings, combining to counterfeit happiness which they do not feel, employing every art and contrivance to embellish life, and to hide theirreal condition from the eyes of one another.
