To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And he is still watchful of every movement calculated to disturb or impair the judicial institutious and charac- ter of the State. He has opposed, at every step, the encroachments of those popular influences and measures, which, by submit! ing the election of judi- cial oflicers directly to the people, render less certain and uniform the admin- istration of justice, strip the judiciary of its sauclity, and open it to the inroads of political excitement aud party animosity. The tendency of the d...uties aud studies of a high judicial station is to purify and elevate and strengthen the moral sense, and to inspire respect and reverence for those immu'able moral principles which are essential to the Avelfare of man and the peace of society. That tendency has been fully devel- oped in Judge Prentiss. Purity of life in every relation is of prime impor- tance in the character of a public man. Without it, genius, learning, wit, eloquence, and cultivation are worse than in vain. They add only to the length of the lever by which vice dissolves the fabric of individual character and social welfare.
