To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Precocity of intellect would indicate the period of youth as the proper era for delineation. Age alone could represent a life whose honors rested upon accumulation. But for a life signalized by impetuous and heroic achieve- ment, no representation satisfies enlightened curi- osity unless it be of that period made illustrious by startling manifestations of power. It is as Cromwell appeared at Marston Moor, or Naseby, to the rapt vision of a squadron of the Ironsides, that he should be represente...d. Our conception of Wellington is as he conquered at Waterloo, and not as he died at Apsley House : of Napoleon, as he appeared in the eyes of the Old Guard at Austerlitz or Marengo, and not as in his controversies with Sir Hudson 4 26 Lowe at St. Helena : of Washington, as he looked to the Sons of Liberty, when in the darkest hours of the Revolution, with more than Napoleonic vigor, he stormed the lines of British troops, or with higher patriotism than that of Greek or Roman fame, in the zenith of his power, he surrendered at An- napolis his commission as Commander-in-chief of the American army.
