To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Within two years from this time, when 29 all the great canals now in progress shall be com- pleted, an internal navigation often thousand miles will belt this country from the great western valley to the waters of the Hudson and the Chesapeake. The New York canal and the Philadelphia water- works are not surpassed, if equalled, by any simi- lar improvements in Europe within the period of their construction. The polite arts, painting, engraving, music, sculpture, architecture, the arts of recrea...tion, amuse- ment, and pageantry, flourish most in the seats of dense population. Few of them thrive without the forcing of great capitals, the reservoirs of the refine- ments of ancient, sometimes declining, empire. Architecture is an art of state, whose master works are reserved for seats of goverment. The public edifices of Edinburgh or Liverpool, for instance, or those erected at any other provincial town within the last twenty years, bear no comparison to the costly and magnificent capitol, built, burnt, and re- built, within that period at Washington.
