To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One brief address delivered by him in the Senate, soon after he resumed his seat, Avill stand among the classics of our language, and, if I may so say, among the ' heroics ' of our history. He was also a man of great political integrity. In the long career of a public life spanning more than a qiiarter of a century no suspicion of dishonesty or dis- loyalty has ever stained his character or reputation. Michigan may safely challenge any senatorial recoi'd of twenty years to surpass his, either i...n the quantity or ([uality of public service. Those who knew him best affirm that he was, ])(^litically and personally an incorruptible man. The position of a legislator is one of proverbial j)eril. From the days of Pericles and Augustus till now, the men who make laws and guide national affairs are pecul- iarly in danger of defiling their consciences by 'fear ( >r favor. ' Briliery sits in the vestibule of eveiy law- making assembly. Greed holds out golden opportu- nity for getting enormoiis profits from unlawful or 31 questionable schemes and investments.
