To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
During the present reign, I should remark, as I gp along, that the French have been twice repulsed from this island by the determined bravery and invincible loyalty of her inhabit- ants. Proceeding downwards with my abridg- ment of the political history of Jersey, I now arrive at a time which, as it nearly approaches the present day, is deserving of much consi« deration. I now come to a period of our history, when you will find the Gentleman who is now so stre- nuously seeking to strip his fell...ow-subjects of their ancient and legal rights, endeavour- ing, at that time, about the year 1786, to ex- tend the liberties of the people, by introduc- F 3 Digitized by VjOOQ IC 15» in^, or rather restoring, that pride of Britons; the trial by Jury. Accordingly, in the Jersey Gazettes of that . time, you find him, on one day, haranguing a mob in favour of their rights and liberties, while whole hecatombs of slaughtered beeves are roasted whole on the mountain tx)p ; on an^ ether day you see him the idol of the people, carried triumphantly on the shoulders of his compatriots through the streets of the town, while the air is rent with loud huzzas of " Li- berty and Dumaresq, and Trial by Jury !*' In these Gazettes you will find many of this Gentleman's speeches, which are much ad* mired in the island, as admirable specimens of popular eloquence.
