To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
My reason was not sufficiently established to enable me to put myself inthe place of others, and judge how much appearances condemned me, I onlybeheld the rigor of a dreadful chastisement, inflicted for a crime I hadnot committed; yet I can truly affirm, the smart I suffered, thoughviolent, was inconsiderable compared to what I felt from indignation, rage, and despair. My cousin, who was almost in similar circumstances, having been punished for an involuntary fault as guilty of a premediatedcri...me, became furious by my example. Both in the same bed, we embracedeach other with convulsive transport; we were almost suffocated; and whenour young hearts found sufficient relief to breathe out our indigination, we sat up in the bed, and with all our force, repeated a hundred times, Carnifex! Carnifex! Carnifex! executioner, tormentor.
Even while I write this I feel my pulse quicken, and should I live ahundred thousand years, the agitation of that moment would still be freshin my memory. The first instance of violence and oppression is so deeplyengraved on my soul, that every relative idea renews my emotion: thesentiment of indignation, which in its origin had reference only tomyself, has acquired such strength, and is at present so completelydetached from personal motives, that my heart is as much inflamed at thesight or relation of any act of injustice (whatever may be the object, orwheresoever it may be perpetrated) as if I was the immediate sufferer.
