To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A son, grown to manhood, who promised fair to imitate his father's virtues, was sud- denly cut down. A tender and excellent wife, the mother of his eight surviving children, was torn from his embrace, and consigned to the tomb. These calamities might well have " brought down his gray hairs with sorrow to the grave :" but, amidst the troubled waters of afflic- tion, he stood like a rock ; and, though their waves broke over him, he was firm and immoveable. As a husband, as a father, and in every ...domestic relation of life, he was alike exemplary. The closing scene of Dr. RAMSAY'S life was alone wanting to put a seal to his character. He fell by the hand of an assassin, whom he had never wronged, but whom, on the contrary, he had humanely endeavored to serve. If harmlessness of manners, suavity of temper, and peaceableness of deportment if a heart glow- ing with benevolence, and a disposition to do good to all men, are characteristics that would promise to any one security, he had not, on all these grounds, the least cause to apprehend or guard against hostility.
