To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These remarks apply chiefly to private letters, written when Washington was at Mount Vernon, and to those written during the French war. In the periods of the Revolution and the Presidency, much more exactness was observed ; and, as far as my observation has extended, there is generally a literal accordance between the original letters and the transcripts in the letter-books." These remarks were intended distinctly to explain the actual state of the case, and the embarrassments attending it, wi...th the view both of conveying proper information to the public, and of removing every ground of suspicion and misapprehension in regard to the manner in which these embarrassments were met by the editor. As an illustration of the above statement, and as an evidence of the facility with which hasty criti- cism may deceive itself and run to false conclusions. 25 we may recur to a prominent passage selected by the writer in the Evening Post, in support of his charge of alteration and perversion of the text.
