To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In vain, I say, should we address her with arguments the most for- cible to prove our right to navigate the ocean. In vain should we ask her consent, though we were to employ the persuasive elo- quence of that gentleman, to permit us to resume our extended and profitable commerce. We should come forth from our dignified re- tirement under great disadvantages to commence a new conflict for our right to navigate the ocean. The enemy with whom we shall have to contend may have made peace with her ...rival, and we be left alone to maintain the conflict. Or perhaps we may have to contend with an enemy all powerful on the land, and who may become formidable on the sea ; with a power that has for a long time cast a wishful eye towards the fair fields of America, and has almost kept up continual claim to a large portion of the United States, which was once within her embrace, and which was wrested from her by the war of 1756.
