To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The total amount of six-per-cent stock which it was found necessary to create for payment to France was $11,250,000 [Bayley's "National Loans," p. 120]. This stock was issued in 1804. Payment upon it was begun in 1812, and, with the exception of about $8,000, the entire debt was expunged in 1821. If now a date as late as 1826 be taken, it appears that the total gross revenue from sale of lands lying within the French cession was but $2,286,220 [Johnson's " Report on the Relief of the States," p.... 324]. There seems to have been no difference, then, so far as taxes are concerned, between this financial oper- ation and the borrowing of money for purposes of war.
