To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is a noteworthy fact that Mr. Howe, like Mr. Mackenzie inUpper Canada, made himself famous at the outset of his career bypleading on his own behalf in a case of libel. Mr. Mackenzie had beenprosecuted for an alleged libel circulated during a political contestwith Mr. Small, and defended his own cause so successfully that the jurygave him a verdict; and they are even said, according to Mr. Lindsey's'Life of Mr. Mackenzie, ' to have debated among themselves whether it wasnot competent for them... to award damages to the defendant for theannoyance of a frivolous prosecution. Mr. Howe's debut as an advocatewas in connection with a matter of much graver importance. He had thecourage, at a time when there existed many abuses apparently withouthope of redress, to attack the Halifax Bench of Magistrates, littleautocrats in their way, a sort of Venetian Council, and the consequencewas a criminal indictment for libel. He determined to get up his owncase, and, after several days' close study of authorities, he went tothe jury in the Old Court Room, now turned into the Legislative Library, and succeeded in obtaining a glorious acquittal and no small amount ofpopular applause for his moral courage on this memorable occasion.
