To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From the outset of his public life until his eyes closed forever on the world, he was an impla- cable foe of the ancient monarchal government. He used his power in the great council of the nation to strike down every defender of the Prerogative of the Crown. He framed those measures which forced the King to grant concessions that brought the constitution into resemblance to its modern form. Swayed by the popular mistrust of the King's sincerity, and by his own uncompromising and imperious will,... he led his party, under cold expressions of loyalty and respect, in a series of addresses on the never-ceasing plea of Privilege, which finally frightened Charles out of his capital. Controlling the public sentiment of London, and supported by the City Corporation with its immense financial resources, his faith in the ultimate success of the Parliament's cause never wavered for an instant ; and the cry of Peace, which was ingeminated at times by every other man in England, had no charm for his ear.
