To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is enough to say that they were entirely worthy of his ancient fame — his large experience, his cultivated understanding, and his remarkable readiness and power as a debater placing him at once in a command- ing position in that august assembly. In the latter part of the war, 1828, he received from Mr. Adams the appointment of Minister Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Colombia, from which post he was recalled early in the following year without the opportunity of distinguishing his mission... by any other incident than the publication of his celebrated ktlcr to Bolivar. On his return he repaired again to his humble but beaut i fid retreat on the Ohio, where he continued to enjoy that repose which was so necessary to his toil- worn frame, until the voice of the nation again summoned him from his retirement to preside over the destinies of this great empire. ^3 The rest of the story is soon told. He obeyed the summons : the West surrendered its Chief into the arms of the Republic, and already he sleeps with his fathers, and a sorrowing nation weeps over his tomb- He has gone down, he, the sorvivor of so many conflicts, who has so often rklden unharmed on the fiery breath of the battle field, has gone down, not in the shock of contending armies — not amid the thunders of the fight, but rather like some ancient oak which has breasted tlie tempest for a thousand years and then falls in the stillness and solitude of the forest with all its branching honors about its head.
