To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He seldom hesitates for a word ; but sometimes appears to do so, evidently to increase the effect of what follows. No English public man probably more carefully prepares his speeches. There is ample evidence of study and polish in each of them. He is never so happy in a debate suddenly sprung upon him, as on a field night when one party delivers deliberate battle to the other. Let it be added that advancing age and persistent 111 health do not seem to have diminished his oratorical powers. His ...last speech in the House of Lords, before the dissolution of the parliament which he so long and so completely swayed, was as audacious, vigorous, and brilliant as any he has delivered for years. It bristled with bold statement, bright epigram, and energetic defi- ance. He has always been a better after-dinner speaker than Gladstone ; for his gifts as an orator incline him to delight in the lighter and airier graces of the art, while Gladstone is ever too dcad-in-carnest to use or cultivate them.
