To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The stony soil in your hearts is broken up. The vain things which cheat men out of the great object of life, you instinctively cast aside. Death and the eternal state rise up before you as vital realities, which are not to be shuf- fled away by any of the devices which fools may invent. So in the bereavement which affects a whole people. The na- tional heart is softened. The general conscience has an un- wonted susceptibility. Practices which are at war with virtue and with God, are felt to be ...what they are, an impertinence, or an abomination. When the news of the death of the Princess Charlotte Augusta reached London, the midnight reveller stole silently away from his unfinished banquet. Not a theatre was opened, and, we presume, not an infidel club was held, that week, throughout Great Britain. Thus, when 17 the intelligence of the great calamity which has befallen our country first reached us, amusements lost their power to charm ; secular business stood still. Tears came unbidden.
