To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Another generation, an- other race, will fill the places of the insects, who are fluttering after wealth and honour. The glory of tho very nation, of which we are but particles, will depend on the historian. Our manners, our venerated customs, will become objects of mockery and ridicule ; and we, who arrogate to ourselves, the perfection of elegance and urbanity, will be styled barbarians. Yes, when the grave-stone, which marks the place where we are sleeping, shall have fallen, and the little ...heap of earth, * Louis the Fourteenth.. 13 which rises over us, shall be levelled, the proud stran- ger will trample on our ashes, as careless, as indiffer- ent, as we are, with regard to those, who lived the age- before us. It is humbling to know, that we shall be for- gotten ; that those who mourn for us, soon must follow ; and that others will occupy the stations, we now hold who will be ignorant, that we ever existed. Let him, who is tormented with ambition, visit the solitary grave-yard ; let him wander amidst the lo\vl\ dwellings of the dead, and meditate upon the glory, which all his cares and vexations are to bring him.
