To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here, for more than twenty years, he stood a conspicuous figure, for much of the time odious for the opinions he held upon the subject of slavery and the object of bitter persecution; but who ever challenged his perfect rectitude of motive in the views he uttered and the votes he gave? Here, during the many years of his public life, when cor rupt schemes assailed Congress, who ever linked Mr. SUMNER S name with ring or combination of any kind which sought special advantage from legislation ? No... lobbyist ever approached him with doubtful propositions. No one could count upon his vote unless the measure was one which commanded his approbation from his sense of its just ice and fitness. Suspicion fell from time to time upon many names, often with cruel injustice, of self-seeking aims; but it is a most strik ing proof of Mr. SUMNER S lofty and transparent character that his integrity was never called in question in his public or private relations. That he did not love money or seek to add to his riches we know from the modest estate he has left, and of which he has made such judicious distribution.
