To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The nation is essen- tially at peace. If we undertake to review the great- ness of the work he has accomplished, we cannot measure it. We can only compare it with great religious movements, with the Eeformation, or with the establishment of Christianity itself. This new organization of liberty deserves to be set side by side with no less important events in the progress of hu- manity. Which is greater, the present, or the first American Revolution, some might hesitate to decide. By the proclama...tion of freedom, Mr. Lincoln opened one half of our land to the people, to liberal institu- tions, to the new civilization, and to the possibilities of advancing religion, as well as gave liberty to slaves. His work can never be undone. The nation is safe. Possibly it is safer than in the continuance of his life. He was merciful, and the people treasure up no revenge. He was gentle ; he was lenient ; was he weak in tenderness ? was he too accessible to personal sympathies ? was personal friendship, or the power of distinguished names too great in influence over him ?
