To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He was, moreover, well impregnated with Indian antiquities, Indian names, and a knowledge of the early Dutch occurrences of New York. Benson was a native of this city — educated in King's, now Columbia College, and died, in 1833, aged 87 years. His historical Memoir is not to be overlooked by the curious in antiquarian research.
Of Clinton, I need only say, that he held for several years the office of President of the Society, that through his whole life he was devoted to its interests, and add...ed to his own and the Society's renown, by his admirable discourses. John M. Mason was distinguished for his noble and fearless bearing, his erudition, his polemical and pulpit writings, and his marvellous eloquence. It may justly be admitted that he was the greatest pulpit orator of his time. Vigor of thought, energy of diction, were his greatest characteristics. He temporized with no errors, if he deemed them such, and his aphoristic diction left a last- ing impression on every hearer. In controversy he seems to have adopted Priestley's rule, " a fair field, and no quarter." The warmth of his temperament animated all his discourses ; lethargy or indif- ference found no repose within the sound of his voice, and the mul- titudes which crowded to hear him was proof of the popularity of his impressive utterance and the force of the mighty truths he promul- 4 50 gated.
