To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Most public men possess some one trait that is distinguish- ing. One excels as an orator, another as a reasoner, another as an economist, another in those qualities that constitute a success- ful diplomatist. But in Mr. Lincoln we dis- cern no single quality of mind that is prom- inent above others. What Mr. Irving says of Washington may very appropriately be said of Mr. Lincoln ; his character "'may want some of those poetical elements which dazzle and delight the multitude, but it pos- sessed... fewer inequalities, and a rarer union of virtues than perhaps ever fell to the lot of one man. Prudence, firmness, sagacity, moderation, an overruling judgment, an immovable justice, courage that never fal- tered, patience that never wearied, truth that disdained all artifice, magnanimity with- out alloy. " There was that simplicity and transpar- ency of character in Mr. Lincoln that makes it impossible to define it. He was a man to DISCOURSE. 15 whom, we could get nearer than any other public man of his generation.
