To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Brazil must smuggle to uphold her present position, and all the reasoning, on the subject of its legality or ille- gality, will never stop it, unless we follow measures more consistent with the actual state of that empire. We are aware, we shall be told by those who trust to " repressive force, " that although past and present attempts, may in some instances have been attended with different results to those looked for, yet, on the whole, it has fulfilled the ex- pectations of its promoters ; t...hat, if it has indirectly been the cause of increased suffering and death to many, still it has saved, many from foreign slavery ; that, if it has not exterminated the Slave Trade, it has dealt a heavy blow and sad discouragement to it ; and that there yet remain, other and more stringent methods of applying coercive means. The very fact, that the advocates of repressive force are driven to this last point, shews clearly that previous efforts have failed — failed entirely. It is no use attempting to disguise the truth.
