To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If it had not the rush of the torrent, neither did it have its turbidness ; if it was without its sparkle, so also it was without its shal- lowness. It is remarkable, very remarkable, that during all the exciting years of his administration, there is no record of a word of passion or resentment spoken or written by him. There have been no deeds of personal revenge. Severity was most alien from his kind forgiv- ing and genial nature. Not only in public, as an homage to the proprieties of his exa...lted station, has he uttered no sentiments unbecoming the placable Father of all his people; but it is well known that in the intimacies of social life he never gave way to those impulses of indig- nation which were felt for him by all patriotic and loyal hearts. Never, since our Government was organized, has such vile vituperation been heaped upon a public man as upon Mr. Lincoln. Without one particle of reason for such a representation he has been depicted, at home and abroad, as a hideous monster in character, in morals and in manners.
