To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If then Ishould be asked, what is the name which shall in years to come begiven to the firmness, which was in this moment exhibited by theEnglish, I shall answer, that I do not know. But that which itdeserves I know. I know that the annals of the world hold out to usbut rarely the august and majestic spectacle of a nation, which chusesrather to renounce its duration than its glory. " In this paragraph the conception is lofty, and the expression elegant;but the colouring is too high for the orig...inal, and the likeness failsthrough an excess of graces. To fit the powers of thinking and theturn of language to the subject, so as to bring out a clear conclusionthat shall hit the point in question, and nothing else, is the truecriterion of writing. But the greater part of the Abbe's writings (ifhe will pardon me the remark) appear to me uncentral and burthenedwith variety. They represent a beautiful wilderness without paths; inwhich the eye is diverted by every thing, without being particularlydirected to any thing: and in which it is agreeable to be lost, anddifficult to find the way out.
