To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
* * * There was no contrast of lights and shades ; no flickering of the flame ; it was a mild light that seldom dazzled, but that ever cheered and warmed. * * * He decided surely, though he deliberated slowly : nor could any urgency or peril move him from his serene composure, his calm, clear-headed good sense. Integrity and truth were also ever present in his mind. Not a single instance, as I believe, can be found in his whole career when he was impelled by any but an upright motive, or endeav...oured to attain an object by any but worthy means. Such are some of the high qualities which have justly earned for General Washington the admiration even of the country he opposed, and not merely the admiration but the gratitude and affection of his own. Such was the pure and upright spirit to which, when its toils were over, and its earthly course had been run, was offered the unanimous homage of the assembled Congress, all clad in deep mourning for their common loss, as to ' the man first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his fellow-citizens.' At this day in the United States, the reverence for his character is, as it should be, deep and universal, and not confined, as with nearly all our English statesmen, to one party, one province, or one creed.
