To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His hatred of injustice was. aroused by the spectacle of a guiltless people thus fallen into the hands of a band of plunder- ers. This feeling arose almost to madness.
His nature was one that was never governed by cold intellectual caution. It was all warmth, impulse, and energy. And hence sprung that violent hatred which he con- ceived and constantly displayed towards Hastings. It was not, we think, as has been generally believed, a personal or party feeling, but a natural and necessary impuls...e.
In the man he hated he saw the cruel op- ])ressor of a people whom he revered for their antiquity, and pitied for their misfor- tunes. In him he beheld a criminal before whose crimes all other offenses grew light as air ; who was the murderer of nations, the robber of the famine-stricken poor, the destroyer of a large part of the human race. When, therefore, at the great trial scene in Westminster Hall, Burke threw upon Hastings a glance of hatred so marked that it was noticed by all around, and generally mistaken for personal disgust ; or when again, upon the neglect of the prisoner to kneel, Burke, indignant that so great a criminal should defy the frowns of his judges, commanded him in a loud tone to kneel ; it was only the same strong feehng displaying itself that had led him to com- mence the prosecution.
