To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Lib. 2. The trinkets and trifles fo eagerly brought from every quarter, if we . Furvey them with a view to national finance, pcrverfely turning our eyes from the donors and the difpofition which ac- companied them to merely the things given, might be confidered as infignificant unimpor- tant bawbles. But to look on them in this light only betrays, in my apprehenfion, either a weak or mifcheivous babit of judging. The people indifcriminatcly prcffed forward to make a facrifice of fuch things the...y had at the altar of liberty in prefence of the National AfTembly, whom they looked uptoastheir deliverer from the iron arm of defpotifm. The proudefl: monarch in Europe might, and 1 truft would, glory in fuch a facrifice. Compare thefe oblations, truly expremve of the feelings of the heart, with the frothy addrelfes where nothing of what is exprcffed is felt. Compare them with the ful fume flattery of courts and of lofty nobility, while it finks into fervile offices and abject com- pliances degrading to a private gentleman of Q 2 fpirit.
