To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Take, for instance, the case of Great Britain and Ireland. Is it not to be held, would it not be unfair to atHrm that the gov- erning powers of England, during what is called the penal times, were unconscious of the wrong they were* perpetrating against millions of the people in the enactment and enforce- ment of those terrible laws of which eveiy Englishman is to-day heartily ashamed — laws of which that eminent and fair-minded man, Johnson, affirmed that as a " sanguinary code it outstripped ...[ 10 J in atrocity the Ten Persecutions inflicted on tlio curly ChnHtians by pagan Rome " — lawH wliicb tliat j^reat statesman Edmund Burke doHcribod as " a machine of wise and elaborate contriv- ance, as well litted for the oi)pre9sion, impoverishment, and deg- radation of the people, and the debasement in them of }iumaa nature itself, as ever proceeded from the perverted irjgenuity of man"? I think, then, that on this point I may fairly assume that we are fully in accord^namely, that men and states may be, and have been, unconsciously guilty of serious wrong toward others; and that the only security against anything of this nature occur- ring or being continued, when a large and influential body of the community proclaim that they are being injured and their rights tramjiled under foot, is by giving them a hearing, and listening calmly, attentively, and dispassionately to all they have to say in support of their assertions.
