To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His marriage was happy. Two little girls came into his life, but they were not to remain and. In infancy, passed onto the beyond. His wife, always frail, has long been an invalid, but his care for her, tender, unbroken and self-sacrificing, exceeding by far the mere devotion of a lover, now becomes one of the most pathetic as well as one of the most delightful themes in history. In temperament he was full of sunshine. A perfect picture of good manliness he would greet a visitor to the White Hou...se with a heartiness which was both genuine and irresistible. There are in his career no great peaks or promontories which rear their heads above the road upon which he steadily ad- vanced heavenward. His fame will rest upon no single occa- sion, upon no mere opportunity or chance. He w r as both a usual and an unusual man. In all our history there is no bet- ter illustration of the conquering power of the homely virtues. By physical and intellectual cleanliness, by devotion to wife and home and church, by native gentleness and generosity, by freedom from all bitterness and guile, by habits of study and the acquired power of logical thinking and of forcible expres- sion, by the purity of his patriotism, by the exalted plane and the timeliness of his public utterances, by his readiness to learn and to accept as well as to lead, by his unexpected firmness in executive action, and by steadiness and patience from first to last, he pursued a rugged road to an emminence which com- manded the respect of all the world.
