To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As President of the Massachusetts Historical Society, one of the principal managers of the Boston Public Library, and a speaker upon festive occasions, he still, however, occupies a creditable position, and is much esteemed by his fellow- citizens. His recent letter bears the unavoidable tinge of political disappointment, and the very reprehensible coloring of political hatred and revenge, elements of his character which we had hoped were exorcised by his long political exile. " Further extract...s from Mr. Winthrop's private letters here follow : — [Xahant, Aug. 23, 1855. ] We buried poor Abbott Law- rence yesterday. His counsel would have been worth much in this exigency. The Fusion is in full progress, but I have refused to have any part or lot in it. Julius Rockwell has written me a long letter, to be shown to discreet friends, with much of which I agree, but it perhaps lays down a stiffer platform than I should care to be responsible for. Washing- ton Hunt's published letter is a good thing, and expresses my sentiments better than any of the manifestoes of the day.
