To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such men as Bourdages, Vallieres, Quesnel, Viger, Papineau, Holland (afterwards Chief Justice), and others of note, were dismissed from militia offices (then only existing on paper) for creating disaffection among the people by their language. All these, and many other paltry things, perpetrated from month to month for twenty years, recoiled back on their authors by disapprovals from England, which followed consecutively, so that the party of prog- ress, always enraged at some new injustice, we...re always in triumph for victories gained over the old. All this kept the population in a condition of chronic excitement ; hatred and bitter language found everywhere expression, and every element of civil war divided and distracted society. Some littlenesses will creep in everywhere ; but on the whole the Assembly, basing their position and demands upon fundamental principles of British freedom, were respectable throughout the long contest, which can hardly be said of their opponents. It is difficult to-day to conceive how so many years could have been occupied, and public business impeded, by puerile subterfuge, deceits, delu- sions, and procrastinations.
