To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This success, it should be recollected, was gained when Mr. Everett was only a little more than eighteen years old. But, sir, in fact, it had been gained earlier. The poem had been read when he was only about seventeen, before a club of college friends in the latter part of his senior year, and had now been fitted by a few additions, for its final destination. Its publication was immediately demanded and urged. But on the whole it was deter- mined not to give it fully to the world. Four copies,... however, were privately struck off on large paper, one of which I received at the time from the author, and thirty- six more in common octavo, which wore at once dis- tributed to other eager friends. But this was by no means enough. A Httle later, therefore, there were printed, with slight alterations, sixty copies more, of which he gave me two, in an extra form, marked with his fair autograph. I know not where three others are now to be found ; though I trust, from the great contemporary interest in the poem itself, and from its real value, that many copies of it have been saved.
