To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The two last were Prosecutors, and Mr. J. J. Chetwood Surrogate of this county. Propriety will not permit me more than hastily to mention the living. But of Aaron Pen- nington and John J. Chetwood, who are gone, I can speak a word or two. The first, brother of Governor Pennington, resembled him closely in appearance, mind and character. He was, perhaps, more of a book-lawyer; and his nomination as Chancellor, by Gov- ernor Newell, during the famous interregnum, was eminently fit to be made. Joh...n Joseph Chetwood was a gentleman of great astuteness and practical talent, who enjoyed for a long time a large practice and wielded a great influence in the section of the county now comprised within Union There are two among our most distinguished names still living, to whom, nevertheless, allusion can be made, since one is certainly forever gone from the bar, the other mainly absorbed in the pur- suits of statesmanship. 1 need not mention them nor dwell upon merits familiar to us all. Enough to say that no more distin- guished Judge occupies the Bench of the Supreme Court of the United States than is one of these eminent men — while the other worthily upholds an honored name and the reputation of his native State in the Senate 1 must break the rule not to mention the living, in regard to two other distinguished citizens, still spared, and covered with well-, deserved honors.
