To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They use terms strangely. In these modern days words have lost their significance. If a man steal his thousands from the Treasury, he is not a thief: oh, no; he is a "defaulter." If a man hang shackles on the limbs of a human being and drives him through life as a slave, it is not man-steal- ing, it is not even slavery, it is only "another form of civilization."

I had thought the days of "southern brethren" and "wayward sisters" had gone by, but I find it here in the high noon of its glory. One would suppose from all we hear that war is gentle and gracelul exer- cise, to be indulged in in a quiet and pleasant manner. I have lately seen a stanza from the nursery rhymes of England, which I commend to these gentle-hearted patriots who propose to put down the rebellion with soft words and paper resolu- tions : " There was an old man who said, how Shall I flee from this horrible cow ?
