To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The difference is only between an octarchy and a monarchy — ^between eight sacerdotal masters — 2l sort of conclave of superannuated cardinals — in wigs and gowns, and a single royal one in purple. Without disparagement to either of these high professions, and certainly with none to that to which nearly forty years of my own life have been devoted, and which is now sought by some to be enthroned at this Capitol as the absolute master of the State, I must be excused for thinking that, however fl...attering may be the offer of the crown to us, many people would, perhaps, prefer the pur- ple, with all its attendant splendors, to the sable regalia of either the priest or the pedagogue.
If it has been found, however, that the liberties of English- men could not be safely trusted to their courts, how much less likely is it that ours, as a people, can be confided securely to the same hands here. It may be truly said of the judiciary of the mother-land, that since the era of the great Revolution, for a period now of near two hundred years, there have been no tribunals among men that have been more exempt from the frailties of humanity, and have more nearly approximated to the ideal of unerring wisdom and perfect justice; and it is to the fact that the highest honors of the profession are only accessi- ble to the highest excellence, that there are no loftier rewards to tempt ambition, even the most restless and insatiable, and that Digitized by Google 660 THOMAS WILLIAMS there is a homogeneity among its people which frees it from the adulteration of foreign and inferior ethnic elements, that it is indebted for these exalted qualities.
