To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It should not be disguised that this is a point of cardinal importance — one full ofmoral and conscientious considerations, as well as pregnant with tlie eventual fate of the colony. In proportion to the strength of these consider- ations is the admitted obligation to the observance of the utmost candor. AVhatever great final good may be promised, as guardians of a high public trust, they do not consider themselves as morally authorized, even as the means of its accomplishment, to sport with th...e lives of their fellow-men. Human life, in their opinion, is too precious to its possessor, to be sacrificed without the most weighty and sufticient reason. They, therefore, pledge themselves to the nation to declare, on this point, the truth, the whole truth. Appreciating its impoi-tance, they have used every means of obtaining correct information. The result is a conviction that the health of the colony is not inferior to the Southern portions of the United States; that emigrants, after the first year's residence, do not incur a greater mortality; that, dunng the first season, there is a more Ihan ordinary mortality, and that, in this re- spect, there is a marked difterence in favor of emigrants, from the Southern States and low lands, over those who go from the North oi- mountam regions; that there is reason, from experience, to conclude, as the most fatal diseases in the colony yield readily to medicine, that a great portion of the mortality that has occurred has arisen from the temporary want of medical assist- ance— a circumstance that, it is hoped, will not again occur, as, besides the regular physician, the Colonial Agent is also a physician of respectability, and means have been taken to educate persons of color for the profession.
