To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It would be as if a man were prying about for this and the other cause of damage, to account for the aspect of a region which has recently been devastated by inundations or earthquakes. It has become much a fashion to explain the distresses of a country on any prin- ciples rather than those which are taught by all history, and prominently manifest in the nature of things. And airs of superior intelli- gence shall be assumed, on hearing a plain man fix the main charge of national exhaustion and ...distress on the nation's consuming its own strength in an unquenchable fury to destroy that of others ; just as if such madness had never been known to result in poverty and distress, and it were perfectly inexplicable how it should ! This is partly an affectation of science, accom- panied, it is likely, by somewhat of that sincere extravagance with which the acquirer of any new principles in a science is apt to account them the comprehension of all wisdom, nos- trums that will explain every thing.
