To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No drop of Irish blood flowed in his veins. As he said himself, he was born in Ireland by a mere accident, and he bitterly resented the superstition that the children of a man, living in Ireland, are all Irish, " while a thief transported to Jamaica, and married to a battered Drury Lane hackney jade, should produce true Britons. " Nor did he love Ireland. He knew himself condemned to die there as he said " like a poisoned rat in a hole, " and gladly would he have found an ex- cuse to live out h...is life among his friends in England. But he hated injustice and dishonour, wherever he saw them, and so he became as wise and valiant a cham- pion of Ireland as that unhappy country ever found.
26 With characteristic frankness he dis- claimed the name of patriot. " I do profess without affectation, " he wrote to Pope, *'that your kind opinion of me as a patriot, since you will call it so, is what I do not deserve ; because what I do is owing to perfect rage and re- sentment, and the mortifying sight of slavery, folly, and baseness about me, among which I am forced to live.
