To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And this is the advancing spirit of the age; this the denoue- ment, the final result of sixty years of revolution, of agony and of blood, in the cause of liberty in Europe 1 . . . The great curse of Europe of the present day is that the theories and doctrines of the champions and advocates of liberty and republicanism have, all along, proceeded upon the same error which rendered all the philosophy of the schools of antiquity abortive, and, for the most part, utterly useless to mankind. They all... proceed upon abstractions. All their theories of society and government, all their ideas of liberty and equality, and the forms they would institute to secure them, are founded upon some preconceived nation of what they conceive ought to be right and proper, without the slightest reference to any practical test — ^to anything that has been proved to be sound and practicable in the past history of the world* Sir, to get right, and to be able to construct true and practi- cal systems of government, they must first reconstruct their system of philosophizing; they must reconstruct their own theories and adapt them to human nature as they have seen it developed in the past, as they see it displayed at the present day.
