To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I might take issue with this statement; or I might fall back upon the claim that Grotius' theory has proved, at least, a serviceable provi- sional hypothesis; but this is neither the time nor the place to go fully into so great a question. Yet I may at least say that it would ill become me, as a representative of the United States, to impute to Grotius as a fault, a theory out of which sprang the nationality of my country : a doctrine embodied in that Declaration of Inde- pendence which is this... day read to thousands on thousands of assemblies in all parts of the United States, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. But however the Old World may differ from the New on this subject, may we not all agree that, whatever Grotius' responsibility for this doctrine may be, its evils would have been infinitely reduced could the men who developed it have caught his 26 spirit ... his spirit of broad toleration , of- wide sympathy, of wise moderation, of contempt for "the folly of extremes", of search for the great principles which unite men rather than for the petty differences which separate them?
