To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To act so as to hold the good opinion of the moderate members of two opposite parties, was an impossibility under the circumstances of that particular time. To show a desire for the Hanoverian succession, to engage in schemes for a political union with Halifax, and at the same time to affect sympathy with the Pretender, was to carry a difficult political intrigue to a point which could hardly fail to result in political disaster. But whatever we may think of Harley's methods, they were not trea...sonable, and when he reofarded himself as an ill-used man it is impossible to doubt the genuineness of the feeling.
