To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Secure in the con- sciousness of his integrity, he will step out with head erect, and neither seek nor shun an enemy : he fears death much less than a foul deed, and dreads a crime more than danger. If vile prejudices assail him for a time, every day of his honourable life is a witness to de- fend him, when all his actions are judged by each other. "Those captious persons who Are so ready to provoke others are in general dishonest men, who, under the apprehension that they will, meet with the c...ontempt they deserve, endeavour to shield by an affair of honour the infamy of their entire life. "Such a man will make a single effort, and face the world once, that he may remain con- cealed for the remainder of his days. True cou- rage possesses more constancy and less anxiety. It is ever what it should be, and requires neither excitement nor restraint. The upright man never moves without it, — in battle with the enemy, in society, in advocating the cause of the absent and of truth; on his couch, in bearing with fortitude the attacks of pain and of death.
