To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Adams, having returned to this country, was elected a Senator of Massachusetts, and in the year following became a Senator in Congress. In 1806, he accepted a Professorship of Rhetoric in the University at Cambridge, and delivered a course of lectures, which are now extant in a published volume. He resigned his seat in Congress before his term ex- pired, and in 1809, was nominated by Mr. Madison as Minister to Russia. He was abroad during the last war with England, and was one of the Commission...ers at Ghent, to negotiate a Treaty of Peace.
After having returned to this country, he became Secretary of State under President Monroe, and was the leading spirit of his administration. In the year 1824 he was elected President of the United States by a vote of the House of Representatives. In that exalted station he displayed the same high moral quali- ties as had distinguished him in narrower spheres of action. Divided as the people of this country were, by feelings of the most impassioned partisanship, he rose superior to them all ; no local or clannish prejudices swayed his official appointments ; no man was placed under the ban of proscription for his political senti- ments, or for the open expression of- them ; liberty of 2 10 thought and of speech were honored as inalienable rights, as essential elements of a manly character ; and it may he truly said that the administration of John Quinct Ad aims adorns the annals of American histoiy, and commends itself to the grateful remembrance of future ages, as the realization of a lofty idea — even of that pure, high-souled impartiality, which becomes the chief magistrate of a nation, and which enters into every just conception of the dignity that belongs to that exalted office.
