To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" They forget that we are not living on English or American soil, and that any step that tends in the slightest degree to weaken the absolute power of the Government, strikes at the root of England's usefulness to this Empire. The Imperial Government could not suffer an Ireland in India and live. It could no more tolerate a Parnell than it could tolerate an- other rebellion like that of 1857. Yet so different are the conditions of political existence in the two countries, that England not only ...lives alongside a discontented Ireland, but it takes Parnell and his associates to her bosom as trusted counsellors. An Indian Gladstone would be given short shrift here, and people would say " serve him right ; " and yet Gladstone is in England an honored (though just now a rather discredited) name, and one of the first and foremost of the day. There would be some show of reason for feel- ing aggrieved, if legislation in India were under- taken without regard to the views and wishes of the people, if our best interests were sacrificed to their own selfish ends by our rulers, and if the immense military power possessed by England was wielded only to grind us down in order to furnish grist for her own mill.
