To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Hon. WILLIAM ELEROY CURTIS, in an able article in the _Chautauquan Magazine_, September, 1892. Whether the meager results of recent investigation are more reliablethan the testimony of earlier pens is a serious question, and thesympathetic and generous reader will challenge the right of modernhistorians to destroy and reject traditions to which centuries have paidreverence. The failure to supply evidence in place of that which hasbeen discarded is of itself sufficient to impair faith in... the moderncreation, and simply demonstrates the fallacy of the theory that whatcan not be proven did not exist. If the same analysis to which thecareer of Columbus has been subjected should be applied to everycharacter in sacred and secular history, there would be little leftamong the world's great heroes to admire. So we ask permission to retainthe old ideal, and remember the discoverer of our hemisphere as a manof human weaknesses but of stern purpose, inflexible will, undauntedcourage, patience, and professional theories most of which modernscience has demonstrated to be true.
