To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Lord Hartington's relations to the Government seem to me to resemble very much what we have seen of an Italian sermon. I do not know whether you know the mode in which an Italian sermon is conducted. A student is put up at one end of the church, and he maintains the side of the devil, and argues for it as best he can. Of course he argues very feebly. As soon as he has done, the preacher gets up and demolishes the arguments of the student with great triumph, and sends him away discomfited. That ...is very much the way the Government appear to deal with their opponents. They first set up Lord Hartington to argue a case which they look upon as utterly hopeless; which he does in mild and gentle language, in a very despondent and somewhat sleepy manner, and when he has done down comes the fierce denunciation of Mr. Chamberlain, in order, by overthrowing him, to show how utterly the Ministers trample upon the view which he favours. The only suggestion which seemed to fall from Lord Hartington w^as wa-apped up in '^j^erhapses" and " ifs, " and depended on other contingencies, as though it came from a man who was pretty sure he was going to be disavowed.
