To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
to man, constitutes^ in its ipost ^tended signi- fication^ the possession of every virtye whidh ennobles our nature, and the enjoyment of those jcxquisite and refined feelings which result from exalted devotion. This principle must necessa- rily predominate in superior minds, since it alone constitutes their superiority ; as whatever may be the understanding of man, the mental facul- ties, uncombined with the moral virtues, cannot impart real exaltation to the character nor happi- ness to the i...ndividual : it is from the prevalance ^nd combination of both that' superiority arrises; and as benevolence is the distinguishing charac- teristic of the superior order of human beings, so is malevolence of the inferior ; therefore Bene-^ volence should be placed at ,the top^ and Male- volence at the bottom of the connecting scale of gradations of the moral and intellectual world. The first class .wouid, I conceive, admit of three orders or divisions; the second, of five; and the third, of seven.
