To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He has the highest salary, — even above the Lord Chancellor and the Prime Minister ; he can pardon criminals in Ireland ; he has charge of the police, and is the superior of the army general in command of L*eland. He is, in short, a mili- tary governor, and keeps Ireland in subjection, prevents insurrection, and exercises the pretence of civil powers, but the reality of arbitrary ones. I feel the same disinclination to compare the behavior of Ireland and Scotland as parts of the British Kingdom... that I should to com- pare Esau and Jacob, Ishmael and Isaac. Two warm temperaments, one burning to genius, the other to business, the Scotchman has become prosperous by submission, the Irishman wretched by resist- ance. Neither had a like religion with the nation that absorbed them. The Scotch Presbyterian is no less a foe to the English hierarchy than is the Irish Catholic ; but the Scotch were never the creatures of demagogues, the dust of faction, nor the forward partisans of their ecclesiastics.
