To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If Mr. Dickinson had been led, as we may think, to advocate a French alliance too strongly and too unre- servedly, we must attribute the error to the generosity of his nature, and to the gratitude which he always felt for what France had done for us. In common with some of the most illustrious men of that generation, especially in England (of whom Sir James Mackintosh, the author of the famous Vindicice Gallicce, was the most conspicuous), nearly every one was blinded by the en- thusiasm which ...was felt for the success of the French Revolution. Mr. Dickinson regarded it as the begin- ning of a new and happy era in the history of mankind. He was willing to look upon its early excesses as par- donable, or perhaps inevitable, considering the work which in the providence of God he felt that it had been appointed to do. Hence his faith in French republican- ism was persistent, and this was no doubt the ground of his earnest desire that this country should extend to republican France a practical sympathy in every way in our power.
