To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With a tolerable share of learning, and avery moderate capacity, his application, assiduity, and interest, procuredhim a place among the ablest Pleaders of the time for several years. Hislanguage was pure, his expression neither low nor ungenteel, and his ideaswell digested: but he had nothing in him that was florid, and ornamental;and the real ardor of his mind was not supported by any vigorous exertionof his voice, so that he pronounced almost every thing in the same uniformtone. His equal, a...nd professed antagonist C. Fimbria was not able tomaintain his character so long; and though he always spoke with a strongand elevated voice, and poured forth a rapid torrent of well-chosenexpressions, he was so immoderately vehement that you might justly besurprised that the people should have been so absent and inattentive as toadmit a _madman_, like him, into the lift of Orators. As to Cn. Lentulus, his action acquired him a reputation for his Eloquence very far beyond hisreal abilities: for though he was not a man of any great penetration(notwithstanding he carried the appearance of it in his countenance) norpossessed any real fluency of expression (though he was equally speciousin this respect as in the former)--yet by his sudden breaks, andexclamations, he affected such an ironical air of surprize, with a sweetand sonorous turn of voice, and his whole action was so warm and lively, that his defects were scarcely noticed.
