To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In no year since history was written, has peace prevailed over the entire globe. Even in this nineteenth century, which we are accustomed to call enlightened, there is scarcely a great Power in Europe that has for twenty consecutive years been ex- empt from war. In view of these facts, it may well be asked, where, it the Republic be perpetuated, will be the outlet for the warlike spirit of as warlike a people as ever existed? AVill it find occupation in war upon our neigh- bors? Where are the n...eighbors who could long re- sist ? Will it make battle with the Powers of Asia or of Europe? The soldier would gather few laurels in a war necessarily waged upon the deep. Where then but in civil strife could the warlike temper be dis[. Layed and military honors be won ? And could the Republic long bear the strain of such strife? I can only answer that nations have survived the most dreadful and sanguinary civil wars. Not to multiply instances, witness France, Austria, Eno-land, Spain. It may be unwise to expect that we shall escape the calamities that have befallen other peo- ples, but it is not, I trust, unreasonable to believe, or at least to hope, that we m ly be able to survive them.
