To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If he had been able, as he humor- ously hoped, to float in a state of suspended animation in a cask of Madeira for more than a century and then revisit the scene of his achievements, what would not be to-day his amazement, admiration and, we must add, dis- gust? The greatness of the nation, which he had helped to bring into existence, would satisfy even his universal spirit. The growth of his beloved city would delight him beyond power of expression. The expansion of science would stagger even ...his comprehension, but I fear he would have only contempt for the petty politicians in city, state and nation, who betray the most sacred principles of lib- erty, to which he gave the mighty labors of his life, to gratify the base passions of the mob.
He sympathized with people and especially with the working classes, of which he himself as a printer was a shining example, but his ideal of the worker was to work and not to idle. He would have scorned a movement, whether by law or otherwise, which would sink the in- dustrious and skillful worker to the level of the idle and the thriftless, and he would have regarded with equal loathing the intellectual demagogues, who play upon the passions of the masses, and the sordid grafters, who be- tray the great cause of civic improvement to enrich themselves.
