To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He could bear to see the people enjoying privileges, provided they flowed from himself; but he did not wish them to be the cus- todiers of their own freedom. In spiritual matters, the authority did not spring from the chief justice. When he left Pitt behind him in the commons, he found one to act his part in the house of lords. Lord Camden was his unceasing opponent ; and Mansfield was often obliged to meet his attacks with silence. He suffered severely in the riots of 1780 ; his house, with co...nsiderable other property, being destroyed ; while he suffered the far more lamentable loss of all his books and manuscripts. In pursuance of a vote of the house of commons, the treasury made an application for the particulars and amount of his loss, for the purpose of arranging a compensation ; but he declined making any claim. In 1788, he retired from his judicial office, when the usual address from the bar was presented to him by his countryman, Mr Erskine, and in July, 1792, he was raised to the dignity of earl of Mansfield, with remainder to his nephew, David viscount Stormont, whose grandson now enjoys the title.
