To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

But these disputes ended as all such ever have done, and ever will da; in a real weak- ness of all parties ; a momentary shadow, and dream of power in some one ; and the subjec- tion of all to the yoke of a stranger, who knows how to profit of their divisions. This at least was the case of the Greeks ; and sure, from the earliest accounts of them, to their absorp* tion into the Roman empire, we cannot judgQ that their intestine divisions, and their foreign wars, consumed less than three million...s of their inhabitants.
What an Aceldama, what a field of blood Sicily has been in ancient times, whilst the mode of its government was controverted be- tween the republican and tyrannical parties, and the possession struggled for by the natives^ the Gredis, the Carthaginians, and the Romans, your Lordship will easily recollect. You will remember the totaf destruction of such bodies as an army of 300,000 men. You will find every page of its history dyed in blood, and blotted and confounded by tumults, rebellions, massacres, assassinations, proscriptions, and a series of horror beyond the histories perhaps of any other nation in the world : though the histories af all nations are made up of similar matter.
