To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And he loved his work, whatever it was ; he loved the law as a science and as a task ; difficulty was but a spur to him ; out of the burdens of duty he got pleasure. There are those who would give no praise for deeds which give pleasure to the doer. From such persons, Judge Townsend ^vould be entitled to little praise. When a thing was right to be done, was called for by his sense of duty, by his general love of humanity, or his par- ticular love for particular men, women or children, of whatev...er race, color or condition, it became a pleasure to him to do it. If the getting of pleasure out of deeds done robs them of merit, Judge Townsend's merit marks would perhaps be few ; but he gave us a noted example of the power of character to make pleasure out of that which at first seems hardship ; to get enjoyment out of doing, no matter how hard the doing seems at first to be. A sense of duty he had, but it never was a severe goad to him, because, when duty was seen he wanted to do it, and took pleasure in it.
