To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was shown also in his seeking the ut- most precision in the expression of his ♦. Houghts, and in his patient, persevering, self-discipline, till his intellect cultivated from the center had become as true as was his heart, and an obedient and flexible in- strument of his will, and till he was hard- ly equalled in the force and transparent clearness with which he would state a point, and in the power of making the complex and obscure, simple and plain to the commonest minds. The same trait wa...s manifested in his seeking to master a subject by going to the bottom of it or penetrating to its innermost principle, so that he could give the Jjist of it in a sin- gle clear, condensed statement. He was honest and truthful, and for thit reason succeeded in attaining a thorough, men- tal culture. And I confess, I am unable to understand why some in the contem- •ii of such a man — a man of the read- ing, experience and thought of thirty years in the legal profession, never can for- get his eaily disadvantages, nor cease to speak of him as a man of inferior attain- ment; when it is perfectly evident that he was an educated man in the true and highest sense, having a mind deeply and centrally cultivated; and that in practical knowledge of men and things, and in breadth and power of thought, he towered immeasurably above multitudes of men who are educated, not in the sense of be- ing grasping, powerful thinkers at all, but only in the sense of having a wide knowl- edge of books, together with, perhaps, some facility in the construction of smooth and sounding sentences.
