To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The jus- tice of such a cause animated every bosom. In such a contest we could stand up, erect like men, before the earth, and in the face of Heaven, and with religious solemnity and confidence, invoke the aid of the Omnipotent.
The members of the Congress of '76, in touching language, 11 pledged to each other, in support of their common Declaration, "their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honour." In the simplicity of truth and suffering they declare their grievances : at the bar of the... people they arraign annointed sovereignty, they dis- card the idle sophistry of the constitution of the Mother Country.
In the epithet of despot, they merge the sacred appellation of king, and boldly announce "that a prince whose character is marked by every act that may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." Such were the men of the Revolution. For them, rank had no awe, wealth no seduction, the bayonet no terror. When the de- tected spy offered money profusely for ransom, the simple yeoman- ry replied with scorn, "Briton, put up thy gold." When a bribe was proposed to win the allegiance of a citizen of eminence and poverty, he said, "I am poor, very poor — but poor as I am, the King of England cannot buy me." A sentiment which deserved to have given the form of him who uttered it, to the enduring marble.
