To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
You will be driven from one step to another ; from principles just in theory, to consequences most pernicious in practice ; and your first concessions will be productive of every subsequent mischief, ^ for which you will be answerable to your country and to posterity. Do not suffer yourselves to be lulled into a false security ; remember the proud fabric of the French Monarchy. Not four years ago it stood founded, as it might seem, on the rock of time, force, and opinion, supported by the tripl...e Aristocracy of the Church, the Nobility, and the Par- liaments. They are crumbled into dust ; they are vanished from the earth. If this tremendous warning has no effect on the men of property in England ; if it does not open every eye, and raise every arm, you will deserve your fate. If I am too precipitate, enlighten ; if I am too desponding, encourage me.
My pen has run into this argument ; for, as much a foreigner as you think me, on this momentous subject I feel myself an Englishman, The pleasm'c of residing at Sheffield-place is, after all, the first and the ultimate object of my visit to my native country.
