To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He was benevolent almost from necessity : it was his pleasure and natural life. He could not be otherwise but by doing violence to himself. Nothing humble or erring could exclude one from a share in his benevolent regards. It tinged his whole character, and, 1 may add, gave beauty to the whole. It took off the coldness and severity which, without this, sometimes encircle the man of incorruptible integrity, like a freezing at- mosphere, and chill us as we would draw nigh. It gave that suavity an...d tenderness to his character. Oh ! how much missed in the home that is now des- olate, the suavity and tenderness which we are told was such a charm. It blunted the edge of a com- mand and turned it into a persuasion. It spoke welcome and fellowship in the beaming eye, and the light of the face in anticipation of the tongue. And it was an affecting testimony to the trait which had been manifested before them, but a few days before, that, on the morning before his death, they gathered up in the market-place, with swimming eyes and eager inquiries, sorrowing lest they should see his face no more.
