To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
LECTURE I.
GENERAL VIEW OF GREECE. GREEK POLITY.
The subject of the present course of lectures is the Consti- tutions and the Orators of Greece ; but I will take the liberty of prefacing the discussion of it with a few general remarks.
European culture traces its origin mainly to the inhabitants of that comparatively diminutive country. In the remote East sprang up in early times forms of political existence, which, lasting, some a few centuries, and others many centuries, on completing their c...areer, left but little for the instruction of the following ages. On the Indus and the Ganges, far back in the primeval times, civilized communities existed, in which the in- stitution of caste established itself as a permanent organization, more despotic than despotism itself. Philosophy flourished there, as did poetry in all its forms ; human life suggested to speculative minds ethical conclusions of large significance ; and Divine themes occupied men's thoughts, leading them into mazes which still perplex the world.
