To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His eldest son was Dr. Alexander Hill, late professor of divinity in the university of Glasgow. In a life of Principal Hill it would be unpardonable to pass over his various publications, some of which possess high excellence. We cannot, however, afford room for criticism, and shall merely notice them in a general way. Single sermons seem to have been his first publications, though they are mentioned by his biographer in a very indistinct manner. One of these, preached before the sons of the cl...ergy, seems to have been sent to the Bishop of London, whose commendation it received. Another, from the text, "Happy art thou, O Israel ; who is like unto thee, O people saved by the Lord?" was published in the year 1792 as a sedative to the popular excitement produced by the French revolution. The sermon was an un- measured panegyric on the existing order of things in Great Britain, and had for a short time an im- mense popularity. " I believe it will be agreeable to you, " writes his bookseller, "to inform you that I have had success with respect to your sermon beyond my most sanguine imagination.
