To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The effects of a correct andadorned style of method and perspicuity, are incredible towardpersuasion; they often supply the want of reason and argument, but, whenused in the support of reason and argument, they are irresistible. TheFrench attend very much to the purity and elegance of their style, evenin common conversation; insomuch that it is a character to say of a man'qu'il narre bien'. Their conversations frequently turn upon thedelicacies of their language, and an academy is employed in f...ixing it. The 'Crusca', in Italy, has the same object; and I have met with very fewItalians, who did not speak their own language correctly and elegantly. How much more necessary is it for an Englishman to do so, who is to speakit in a public assembly, where the laws and liberties of his country arethe subjects of his deliberation? The tongue that would persuade there, must not content itself with mere articulation. You know what painsDemosthenes took to correct his naturally bad elocution; you know that hedeclaimed by the seaside in storms, to prepare himself for the noise ofthe tumultuous assemblies he was to speak to; and you can now judge ofthe correctness and elegance of his style.
