To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A man w^ho, having addicted his early manhood mainly to the pursuits of private life, without any ap- preciable culture or experience in public affairs, could thus, when there arose a public exigency of sufficient urgency to induce him to enter the public service, ]jer 14 saltum^ as it were, raise himself to tlie first rank as a military leader, and tlien, for so long a period, as Chief Magistrate of a great and free country, thus direct and control its civil administration, must be allowed to ...have possessed great capacity. His was no negative or unmarked career — no meteor- like appearance upon the great theatre of affairs, to blaze and dazzle lor a moment, and then pass away forever ; but, both as a military commander and a civil chief, he left his impress upon his country and its in- stitutions deep, striking, and indelible. It would be idle to assume, as some have done, that General Jackson was indebted alone, or chiefly, to fortune and adventitious circumstances for his extraor- dinary success.
