To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The statement comprehends not only all the nnplirotlous made by him in the first instance, for the liberation of impressed seamen, between the month of June, 1797, and Sept. 1801, but many also which had been made previous to this agency, by Mr. Pinckney and Mr. King, and which it was necessary for him to renew. These applications therefore may fairly be considered as embracing the greater part of the period of the war ; and as applications are known to be pretty indiscriminately made, they jna...y further be considered as embracing, if not the whole, the far greater part of the impressments, those of British subjects ^3 well as others. Yet the result exhibits 2, 059 cases only, and of this number 102 seamen only, detained as being British sub- jects, which is less than 21 of the number impressed, and 1, 142 discharged or ordered to be so, as not being British subjects, which is more than half the whole number, leaving 805 for fur- ther proof, with the strongest presumption, that the greater pai't, if not the whole, were Americans or other aliens, whose prncf of citizenship had been lost or destroyed, dir whose situa- tion would account for the difficulties and delays in producing it.
