To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Frye, of Maine, who served 10 years, and 13 days in the House and 30 years, 4 months, and 20 days in the Senate a total of 40 years, 5 months, and 3 days. Thus it will be seen that Merrill tops them all by 4 months and 24 days. William Ewart Gladstone served 53 years in the British House of Commons. I am by no means certain that his service was the longest in that body. Over there, however, they begin younger than we do. Charles James Fox, perhaps the greatest parliamentary orator that ever liv...ed, entered the House of Commons at 19, and the younger William Pitt at about the same age. Another thing that tended for length of service there was the old and condemned borough system, whereby a duke or earl or viscount would take a fancy to some bright youngster and practically appoint him to a seat in the Com- mons an agreeable custom, but not promotive of the public welfare, and now happily fallen into "innocuous desuetude. " Henry Clay, the most renowned of all Speakers, served the longest time in the Speaker's chair, being elected for six full terms, resigning twice, with a total actual service of 10 years and 245 days, although the Capitol guides will have it that he served 1 2 years a historic fable.
