To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
personages so disinterested and self-sacrificing as to lend their efforts to the business of creating for a single subor- dinate official an office with emoluments so enormous as to absolutely carry it beyond the range of comparison with other public positions, even to the most important known in the land, and place it, in respect of the profits which a single term will yield, not on the plane of a public office but rather on that of a princely heritage. * The Philadelphia politicians who origi...nated and secured the enactment of this law were not noted either individu- ally or as a class for their readiness to further any whole- sale scheme for the enrichment of a particular individual, from entirely disinterested motives. Nothing was under- taken by them that had not for its prime object actual financial profits. Their power in politics, in shaping results in the elections, gave them a prestige which no party follower dared dispute. Public officials were their creatures as certainly as though they constituted a regu- lar business firm and those they elected to office were merely their agents doing their work on salary or on commission.
