To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What would have been sufficient to have raised a respectable naval establishment has been squandered upon gunboats that are of no use — in the purchase, at a heavy price, of a ten'itory which we might with justice have obtained by our ai'ms, and whose acquisition was principally intended to throw an additional weight into the southern scale — in the pay- ment of a ransom to a Barbary potentate whom we could with ease, have reduced to such terms as, flushed with con- quest, we might have been pl...eased to prescribe — in filling the coffers of the French empire by the plunder and con- fiscation of American property — and in dissipating "an overflowing treasury" and involving the nation in an enor- mous debt without securing the smallest benefit. Indeed economy seems incompatible with the character of a peo- ple like the Virginians, and quite at variance with their prac- tice. It was the cloak used by the crafty Jefferson to hide his wicked purpose of abolishing the ivdvy. Under this mask the monster crushed it.
