To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is not my business to pronounce here any de- cided opinion one way or the other. My duty is limited to the task of narration. Whatever, therefore, were the motives and objects of those in power, Burke and his co- adjutors succeeded in their endeavours to induce the House of Commons to come forward as the public prosecutors of Warren Hastings, for high crimes and misdemeanours in his office of Governor- General. Accordingly, on the 13th of February, 1788, (now upwards of half a century ago, )... a day which will be ever memorable in English annals, Mr. Burke appeared in Westminster Hall, at the bar of the House of Lords, as the appointed organ of the House of Commons, to open the articles of impeachment; and the accounts of all cotemporaneous narrators concur in the repre- sentations of splendour and interest which were presented by that important occasion. Let us imagine the august scene ! Let us suppose ourselves in that noble Hall, on which the lapse of centuries has conferred an additional interest to what is derived from its architectural magnifi- cence, crowded with all that was illustrious by rank, power, and intellect; with the delegated and concentrated greatness, as it were, of the empire, there assembled, to hear the complaints of a people, separated from us by thousands of leagues, and by every conceivable variety of language, man- ners, and religion, and whose ordy claim to the attention of the congregated judges, arose from their dependent weak- ness, and their supposed miseries and oppressions !
