To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He had cer- tain regular opponents with whom it was always un- derstood the battle was to be fought to the death. Whether the fault was theirs or his is not the ques- tion : the fact was so. Beside these, he had always a small array of stragglers, with whom, from time to time, he had to maintain a kind of guerilla warfare a species of strife which is proportionately as harassing and perilous in debate as it is in the terrible reality of war. It leaves a man no rest. He must be forever prepared.... He must, as it were, sleep in his armor and with his sword unsheathed. No allowance is made for the weaknesses and infirmities of humanity. If, by chance, a man so situated should be caught tripping, he is fallen upon at once. If the fatigues of laborious official duties shall have impaired his powers ; if some subordinate shall have misinformed him as to facts, or committed him as to opinions or declarations, no al- lowance whatever is made for such a man. He has made too many enemies. He has conquered, perhaps, in too many contests.
