To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But, on the other hand, he seems hardly to have thought of them. He took them for granted; only casually referred to them; and was scarcely sustained or moved in his work by any eon- 28 » siderations derived from them. The effort of the con- spirators in league against the Government to wrench apart what God had bolted together with mountains, and had laced inextricably into one by the marvellous system of Western rivers, — their effort to sever the National domain, and to build two empires whe...re climate, race, topography, language, combined to de- mand that there should be but one, — this does not seem to have roused him against it. So far as appears he never was stirred by the natural and not unlaudable ambition to have the country remain as of old, surpass- ing others in its physical extent, and outshining them with its more splendid treasures. But the Principles involved in the National institu- tions were to him inexpressibly sacred and dear ; and against the warfare made upon these, on behalf of an ambition which instinctively hated them, he set his kindly face like a flint.
