me to remind you, dear Reader, that there is no royal road to
thought. If one person, A, has an idea, and it is deemed desirable
that another person, B, should have it too, there is absolutely no other
way than for B to go through substantially the same process of thought
that A has gone through; and if it happens that the particular mode
of thought is one in which B is more or less unpracticed, there
necessarily will be a certain awkwardness in his attempts to
follow A's thought.
