To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On an occasion like the present, I enter upon the performance of my duty with fear and trembling. With a few brief hours for preparation, with body and mind exhausted by a week of excite- ment and more than a thousand miles of travel, 1 might well distrust my ability to merit your approbation or justly to portray the character of that great and excellent man who deserves our eulogy as he receives our regret. But I frankly confess that I have no uneasiness on these accounts. I am to speak to fri...ends and brothers always ready to receive kindly any words that I may utter and to suggest any excuse that the speaker may need. But I tremble when I think, that in this Christian land, in this nineteenth cent ury, we are brought face to face with a crime, the very thought of which almost causes one's blood to curdle with horror, a crime committed under the most aggravating circum- stances, — and, worst of all, a crime which will be rejoiced in by men and women who have called themselves, and are called by others, refined and Christian.
