To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Poets themselves will celebrate it in song — orators will find par- allels upon the page of history, or even liken the perpetrator of the horrid crime, who for the good of his imperilled country, stabbed the mighty C?esar for his ambition, upon the steps of the Senate-house of Rome ; and purblind and corrupt priests, calling themselves the ministers of our holy Religion, will point to it as a note- worthy example of the retributive justice, or avenging wrath of God ; and priest and people, in t...he exuberance of their delight, will to'ether clap their hands and cry, Amen ! or even joining* in the mock heroism of the red-handed murderer, as he brandishes his glittering steel in the face of that horror-stricken audience where the dam- 9 ning- deed was done, will shout — ''Sic sempei- tyrannis'' — So let it ever he to tyranta. But no words of apologj^ or, of extenuation — no liig-li- wrought, illusive imagery, or illustrious example gathered from classic lore — no labored effort of poet, author, orator or priest, can avail to change the nature of the crime; and nothing which they can say or do, will serve to obliterate, or to cover up the stain of its damnable guilt.
