To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His life, indeed, has been one of rare felicity. For, although it began, as it has ended, in the midst of events which try the souls of men, yet its active course has been through a period of great national growth and prosperity. The century of years and honors which has just closed, has seemed for him like a long sum- mer's day, without a cloud on its brightness, — whose last moment shows the descending sun in full-orbed glory, just as it sinks below the horizon. A genera- tion of men has pass...ed since his name became histori- cal; and "Heaven has bounteously lengthened out" his days, so that his long life has been for us a golden chain, binding us to those whom we honored as the founders of the Nation. This reverence, and this re- spect for his worth, this pride and gratification at the possession of such a character, is not, therefore, all our own. He belongs to the Country, — not wholly to the State, or the City which gave him birth and honors, — honors which he has well returned.
