To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In that chamber they remain to this day. * The religion established by Julius Caesar and afterwards by Augus- tus, was the worship of himself, as the son of God. Temples were erected to it in all parts of the empire; a vast body of priests and other officers were appointed to perpetuate its rites; innumerable benefices of lands were granted to its temples : immense sums of money were devoted to its support; and the lex crimen majestatis was em- ployed to enforce its observances, and punish here...tics. Yet in time it all fell so dead and flat beneath the contempt of the intellectual classes and the inveteracy of ancient custom, that only the lowest classes of Rome, the rabble, the pot-lickers, the corn-beggars, the dead-heads of the circus, could be depended upon for constancy to the new and repulsive creed; and even these classes, in the course of a few generations, had to have the nauseous dose sweetened by the worship of Julius Caesar, through Venus, and of Augustus, through Maia, his pretended mother.
