To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" When Lincoln was called upon to speak he turned to the bandmaster and said: "Play 'Dixie' now. It's ours again. " Another secret of Abraham Lincoln's strength as a speaker was the fact that he had saturated his mind with the two great masterpieces of English literature, the King James' Version of the Bible and Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. Lincoln read and reread, again and again, both THE SPEAKER 51 of these books until they became for him a storehouse to which he turned unconsciously for wor...ds, and phrases, and ideas. A part of his great speech in 1857 on the Dred Scott Decision of the Supreme Court, which, in effect, took away the last rights of the negro, might have been written by Bunyan: All the powers of earth seem rapidly combining against the black man. Mammon is after him; am- bition follows, philosophy follows, and the theology of the day is fast joining in the cry. They have him in the prison house; they have searched his person and left no prying instrument with him. One after another they have closed the heavy iron doors upon him; and now they have him, as it were, bolted in with a lock of a hundred keys, which cannot be unlocked without the concurrence of every key; the keys in the hands of a hundred different men, and they scattered to a hundred different places; and they stand, musing as to what in- vention in all the dominions of mind and matter can be produced to make the impossibihty of escape more complete than it is.
