To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They will be afraid to appear in their own form, or to utter their genu- ine sentiments. Their whole character will become fictious, opinions will be assumed, speech and behavior modelled, and even the countenance formed, as prevailing taste exacts. From one who has submitted to such prostitution, for the sake of praise, you can no longer expect fidelity or attach- ment on any trying occasion. In private life, he will be a timorous and treacherous friend. In public conduct, he will be subtle an...d versatile ; ready to desert the cause which he had espoused, and to veer with every shifting wind of popu- lar favor. In fine, all becomes unsound and hollow in that heart, where, instead of regard to the divine approbation, there reigns the sovereign desire of pleasing men. This passion, when it becomes predominant, most com- monly defeats its own end, and deprives men of the honor which they are so eager to gain. Without preserving liberty and independence, we can never command respect. That servility of spirit, which subjects us to the opinion of others, and renders us tributaries to the world for the sake of ap- plause, is what all mankind despise.
