To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Do you shud- der at the idea of murder ? You cannot require to be told, that to commit it with dispatch, and by wholesale, consti- tutes the celebrated art of war. If murder were not learned by this art, how could a man, who should shudder to kill one individual, even when provoked, go, in cold blood, and cut the throats of many for a little paltry pay, and under no better authority than a commission from a mortal as weak, wicked, and wretched as himself, who does not perhaps know even his pers...on, and would not care if both his body and soul were annihilated ? If there cannot be a greater mis- fortune to the commonwealth, than a general neglect and dis- obedience of the laws, let it be considered as a certain truth, that the voice of law, divine or human, is never heard amid the clangor of arms and the din of battle. If you deem debauchery, rapes, incest, and crimes of still greater turpi- tude than these, foul disgrace? to human nature, depend 143 upon it that war leads to all of them, in their most aggra- vated atrocity.
