To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Providence in his power might have created man to suffer absolute and eternal pain, rather than to have endowed him with faculties for unceasing pleasure ; thus a na- tion's chosen hero and champion, could with his almost limitless power, bind it beneath him, or refuse to be its pilot and protector in the fiercest storm of State trouble, and thereby consign it to distress, rather than confer on it safety and delight. In no wise can a man make known his deserving of power, so advan- tageously, a...s when conferring blessings on those who grant him his power, and that too in pre- cise ratio as they grant it to him. Earthquakes are imbecile, floods are weak and impotent, conflagrations are puerile and powerless, when compared with the next to almighty capacity and power of a wise, virtuous, and eloquent inan, to awaken its fears of sin, or arouse to deeds and emotions of purity, the vast human family. Mr. Henry's success as a lawyer was, we know, proportionate to bis display of legal 2 10 ability and learning, of experience in practice, and of oratorical capacity ; the first quality and possession he displayed at the outset to an astonishing degree, so far as applying the principles of law to the matter and case in question and contest went ; tlie second of course time and repeated trial rendered him adejDt and skillful in ; and the third power in him, was like the rhetorical art of Isceus, ever ready for use and ever excellent when used.
