To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Greeks carried industrial art to an exceeding high point. So did the Komans ; so did the artists of the Middle Ages ; so did those of the Kenaissance — Cellini, Palissy, and others ; — so did, in short, all persons who, with an artist's spirit and practical industry, laboured for the convenience of their fellow-creatures. But still the term ''industrial art" — the clear, philosophical distinction between "fine" or inventive, and "industrial" art, had not been so accuratel}'' laid down as it... has been lately ; and so, while industrial art was pursued as an instinct, it was not so clearly mapped and traced out as a branch of specific study as it has been in our o'^n da^'S. I am anxious to impress this point upon you because I should be very sorry that you should be amongst those who, while they prize their own generation and know its works, do so with stolid indifference or contempt for all the good which other ages have done before them, and upon which their own good has been built.
