To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The school-boy, upon the Missouri, talks of the Illissus. The ardent youth, who, at Bunker Hill and New Orleans, gazes with intense interest upon those fields of blood and renown, has room also in his heart for the stories of Marathon and Salamis. The lover of the fine arts, who surveys the works of the chisel, which already in our country have almost fashioned the marble into life, still thinks of Praxiteles, and concurs in the universal opinion of artists, that the Venus de Medicis is yet the... model of statuary beauty. And the patriotic citizen, while he blesses God that he was born in the country of Warren, and Hancock, and Franklin, and Jefferson, casts a look of reverence upon the land of Socrates, and Plato, and Aristides. " All this is the triumph of intellect ; the monument and the reward of public spirit and intelligence, and the evidence of pri- vate devotion to all those pursuits which give to mind its ascend- ency over matter. " The true province of the historian is now better understood than formerly.
