To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He was a man of quick and vigorous parts, but consti- tutionally prone to insolence and to the angry passions.
When just emerging from boyhood he had risen into practice at the Old Bailey bar, a bar where advocates have always used a license of tongue unknown in West- minster Hall. Here, during many years, his chief busi- ness was to examine and cross-examine the most hardened miscreants of a great capital. Daily conflicts with prosti- tutes and thieves called out and exercised his powers so ef...fectually that he became the most consummate bully ever known in his profession. Tenderness for others and respect for himself were feelings alike unknown to him« He acquired a boundless command of the rhetoric in which the vulgar express hatred and contempt. The pro- fusion of • maledictions and vituperative epithets which composed his vocabulary could hardly have been rivalled in the fish-market or the bear-garden. His countenance and his voice must always have been unamiable. But these natural advantages, — for such he seems to have thought them, — he had improved to such a degree that there were few who, in his paroxysms of rage, oould see i685 JAMES THE SECOND 443 or hear him without emotion.
