To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
ihe subject of admiration— and our political institutions a source of remark and speculation in every civilized nation of the globe. Hence, the incidents of our early history — the struggles which we passed through in the incipient Stages of national existence, and the virtues which we dis- played in scenes of trial and suffering, will constitute a theme of anxious inquiry. To supply, by every possible means, the works necessary to complete our colonial his- tory, therefore, demands our earnest... exertions. Never should our researches cease or become languid, until every thing is accomplished within the bounds of industry and munificence, to supply the deficiencies of this department. It should also be a great consideration to preserve whatever may illustrate the national, civil, literary, medical, and eccle- siastical history of our country. Already our legislative acts, and judicial decisions, and, I believe, almost every historical treatise, are deposited in our library. These con- stitute the basis upon which every future historian must erect his structure j but it must be strikingly apparent, that in the infancy of our literature, newspapers, magazines, and pamphlets, are frequently the only printed evidences of pubhc transactions ; and although they are too often the organs of faction, and the vehicles of private malignity and disappointed ambition, they are the depositories of valuable knowledge, and form a partial commentary on the passing events of the day.
