To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How dark and wild was the tumult of revolutionary passions ! How many thoughtful spirits brooded in sadness over the woes which threatened to fall upon us ! In how many noble bosoms was formed the stern resolve to maintain, at whatever cost of treasure and of blood, the suprem- acy of the laws ! When, before this uproar of all our social elements, have any portion of our fellow- citizens been seduced from their allegiance to the government which protected them ? When, before this, my fellow-cit...izens, in the whole history of civil society, have demagogues so inflamed the passions of the people, that a reproach upon landholders has been welcomed as a sign wherewith to conquer ? Not for a single moment, could the men of Rhode- Island brook the thought of surrendering this inher- itance of freedom, derived from heroic sires, to be trampled in the dust by lawless feet ! Not for a single moment, could they pause in their career, till the battle for Liberty and Law was won ! How de- 48 termined was the spirit of patriotic resistance, even among the peaceful dwellers upon this island !
