To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Under the chancel of the old Protestant church, at the Hague, their bodies rest in hope, awaiting the resurrection of the just, but their memory will be embalmed in the hearts of the virtu- ous and the brave, so long as virtue and valor are hon- ored among men : THE EPITAPH. " HBKX LIB THB REMAINS OP A MAN OF UNIVERSAL GENIUS, THX PBOFOUNDE8T STATESMAN AND THB MOST ADROIT DIPLOMATIST OF HIS AOB, IN WAR AS WELL AS IN PEACE '/ *HE PROP OF THB REPUBLIC OF WHICH EVEN HIS ENEMIES REGARDED HIM AS THB... 8URB8T ORACLE. HB WAS LABORIOUS, INDEFATIGABLE, VIGILANT, SOBER, AND MODEST ; ALWAYS SERIOUS, BUT EASY, AFFABLE AND AGREEABLE, AS DISINTERESTED ASA MAN COULD BE, PROPOSING TO HIMSELF NO OTHER OBJECT BUT THB GOOD OF HIS COUNTRY AND THB ESTABLISHMENT OF HEB LIBERTIES. ALTHOUGH HB WAS CIVIL TO ALL MEN, HE NEVER COURTED THE APPLAUSE OF THE PEOPLE BY EMPLOYING THE BASE ARTS OF A DEMAGOGUE. * ALWAYS EQUAL TO HIMSELF, AMD UNDISTURBED IN THX MIDST OF THE GREATEST CALAMITIES, HIS MIND NEVER LOST ITS EQUANIMITY, AMD # TO THE LAST SIGH Of HIS LIFE HE EXHIBITED, BY HEROIC FORTITUDE, A MBMORABLB EXAMPLE OF WHAT A MAN IS CAPABLE WHOSE CONSCIENCE REPROACHES HIM NOTHING." Could more be said of him whose ashes repose be- neath the shades of Mount Vernon ?
