To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Will we 15 expose ourselves to be denied our just title of a moral, religious, intelligent, and enlightened people, by refu- sing to inscribe the United States of America among the names of the civilized nations of the earth which will be found engraved upon the columns of this magnifi- cent temple? Are we not a navigating and commer- cial people ? Does not our flag float on every sea, and visit every accessible region of the world ? And shall we not have our national observatory, our astronomi...cal archives, and our celestial ephemeris ? Shall we any longer leave our navigators exposed to the disgrace of acknowledging that, without the astronomical epheme- rides published in Europe, they could not with safety navigate distant seas ? I hope not. I believe it to be only necessary to point out to the intelligent people of this country the usefulness, not to say the necessity of such an establishment, for them immediately to appre- ciate the object, and, so far as the powers of the Go- vernment extend, to furnish the means to carry it into effect.
