To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The inmost soul of Perry's glorious deed was a loyal sense of duty, the sentiment of patriotic service, and when we erect a monument to him we honor all such service, whenever and however performed. We inspire and cultivate true ideas of public duty. I have said that for genera- tions we have had no experience of foreign wars; we are the living wit- nesses of a tremendous civil conflict. God forbid that it should ever re- cur; but to guard against its recurrence, what better can we do than hono...r its loyal heroes with monuments and statues and memorial tab- lets which, speaking continually to the plastic mind and heart of the people, shall imbue them with a generous enthusiasm for their country? What better can we do especially than commemorate the matchless for- titude and magnanimity of the great general, recently dead amid uni- versal lamentations, who led the Union armies to final triumph, by a monument which, sublimely towering, shall tell to all coming genera- tions the story of his magnificent services?
