To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The emotions displayed by those men when called to the ser- vice of their country, one by the voice of God, and the other by the same voice, through the unanimous vote of Congress, were very similar. They felt alike their own insufficiency ; they felt as if the burden imposed upon their shoulders was too great for them to bear ; and as Sacred History teaches us that the scruples of Mo- ses were overcome, and he became willing to march at the head of the people of God ; so we learn concerning ou...r own Washington, " When his election as generalissimo was announced by the Presi- ident of Congress, he exhibited the modesty, patriotism, and disin- terestedness which were ever the prominent characteristics of hi3 life. He expressed the distress he felt from a diffidence in his abil- ities and military experience, but at the same time a firm determin- ation was declared to exert every power for his country's service, and the success of her glorious cause. He declined any pecuniary reward for the duties to be rendered in his station ; he expected nothing more than a mere indemnity for expenses actually incur- red, of which his intention was to keep a regular and strict ac- count." Both had had some experience of military life in their youth ; both had given proof of valor and skill ; and both were therefore prepared, on a more extensive field and with a larger command, to perform deeds which cover them with undying renown.
