To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whatever may have been the j)raiscworthy motives of the founders of this system, like 16 the religious order to which I have alluded, it has surely been greatly abused and perverted to ends and purj)oses the very reverse of its original design. Looking to tlie princi- ples and tednencies of the system as now perfected and sup- ported in at least one of the States, I cannot help thinking that the ingenious contexture ol the constitution of the Jesu- its has been the model from which many hints h...ave been taken for the improvements which have been engrafted upon it. The analogies between the two systems, though not per- fect are yet too close and palpable to be overlooked, and the necessary results too dangerous to be disregarded . The name assumed, in the one case, was that of the meek foun- der of our holy religion, and the professed object of the in- stitution was to diffuse its blessings and to make perpetual war upon the Prince of Darkness, the great enemy of the happiness of man. Besides the usual vows of poverty, chas- tity and obedience to the order, a vow of obedience to the Pope was also required from its members.
