To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Was it because he was such a monster in cruelty or crime, that by the common consent of outraged human nature, he deserved to perish ? He was known to have been as tender-hearted as a woman ; spariug, to his gentle instincts, many evil doers, and mil- lions honored and trusted and reverenced him, the day he died. No ; it was because he was your President, and as the President, he had executed the people's will ; because, being elevated to the chair of Washington, he had dared, like Washington, ...to love and save his coun- try ; because he had kept his most solemn oath of office, and saw that the Republic received no detriment at his hands ; because he dared to stand between treason and its success, and withstood, by his official powers, the attempt to slay a nation and destroy a destiny ; because he had been loyal to the traditions, the hopes, the prom- ises, and the genius of a great republic. You have heard it said, perhaps, in times past, (the grave has wisely silenced all criticism of him whatever, ) that he was responsible for the loss, the burden, and the agony, that for the last four years has crushed and smote the nation's heart.
