To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We may here remark that the very fact of Latin and Greek being being dead languages is an additional argu- ment in favor of their training power. The meaning of the words is not constantly changing as in modern tongues; the mode of thought is so far removed from our own that 10 all guessing at the meaning is precluded. The translation, the parsing, the explanation of idioms, the whole construc- tion, requires hard intellectual work and consequently must prove an excellent mental training. Corro...borating these statements are the views of Sena- tor George F. Hoar. In an article on Oratory in Scrib- ner's Magazine (June 1901) he speaks as follows: "In my opinion, the two most important things that a young man can do to make himself a good public speaker are: First, constant and careful written translations from Latin or Greek into English. Second, practice in a good debating society. * * * The value of the practice of translation from Latin and Greek into English in getting command of good English style, in my judgment can hardly be stated too strongly.
