To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" I was not swaddled and rocked and dandled into a legislator," wrote Burke when very near the end of his days : " Nitor in adversum is the motto for a man hke me. At every step of my progress in life (for in every step I was traversed and opposed), and at every turnpike I met, I was obliged to show my passport. Otherwise no rank, no toleration even, forme." All sorts of whispers have been circulated by idle or malicious gossip about Burke's first manhood. He is said to have been one of the too... numerous lovers of his fascinat- ing countrywoman, Margaret Woifington. It is hinted that he made a mysterious visit to the American colonies. He was for years accused of having gone over to the Church of Eome, and afterwards recanting. There is not a tittle of positive evidence for these or any of the other statements to Burke's discredit. The common story that he was a candidate for Adam Smith's chair of moral philosophy at Glasgow, when Hume was rejected in favour of an obscure nobody (1751), can be shown to be wholly false.
