To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In entertaining his guests, no man made himself more affable and agreeable. It would take me hours to relate all the pleasing anecdotes that have come to my knowledge in support of those statements.
But one consequence resulted from the disposition and habits of Mr. Webster, in these respects. He frequently found himself embarras- sed in his pecuniary aftairs, and unable to meet with promptness his engagements. This, it must be admitted, was an error, and finds no justification in the fact that... other great and confessedly patriotic nen in this country and in England have been chargeable with the same error. Mr. Webster never justified business defalcations of any sort, and he never failed to meet a pecuniary engagement of his own when he had the means, but, unf^itunately for him, he did not always possess the means, and then he felt greatly distressed. How keenly he felt the obligation of paying his debts, may be illustrated by two well authenticated facts related of him. When he became convinced that he must die, he directed the superintendent of his farm to take five hundred dollars from his trunk and pay every debt due from him in the neighborhood, and recollecting that he had borrowed three hundred dollars of a friend in Plymouth, for which he had given no evidence of indebtedness, he called for a pen and ink, and being supported on his dying bed, he signed a check for the amount, that being the last time that he ever wrote his name.
