To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sumner was a man pre-eminently true to his convictions of right. It was in this sign he conquered. He did not stop to con- sider whether the position he took would bring favor or reproach. He was only anxious to be right ; to plant himself upon principles that would not change. Hence he did not allow himself to look at a question through any medium that distorted its true proportions. He was an honest man by nature. He hated deceit, fraud, pecula- tion, and corruption in all their forms. But es...pecially were all the strong forces of his moral nature set in hostility to oppression by man over man. Against the system of human slavery, he waged ceaseless war, from early manhood up to the period of his death. Need I speak of his correlative love of truth, of freedom, of justice, of equal rights, in this Chamber that has so often echoed his grand utterances ? To the establishment of this doctrine of equal rights among men with- out distinction of color or race; to the emancipation and elevation of the four millions of the African race whom he found in bondage and lived to see freedmen and citizens of this Republic, he consecrated the many years of his public service with a singleness of purpose that never swerved a moment, with an unflagging zeal and an energy that never tired.
