To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now it so happened that the "select men, " or municipal authorities of Boston, had also made arrangements for receiving the President in their civic domain, and in doing so had pro- ceeded without consulting the governor ; as might have been expected, some clashing of rival plans was the result. Here ensued a great question of etiquette. The execu- tive council insisted on the right of the governor, as chief of state, to receive and welcome its guest, at the entrance of its capital. " He should... have met him at the boundary of the State over which he presides, " replied the others; "and there have welcomed him to the hospitalities of the commonwealth. When the President is about to enter the town, it is the delegated right of the municipal authorities thereof to receive and bid him welcome. " The contending parties were drawn up resolutely in their carriages, while aides-de-camp and marshals were posting to and fro between them, carrying on a kind of dip- lomatic parley. In the meantime the President, and Major Jackson, his secretary, had mounted on horseback, and were waiting on the Neck to be conducted into the town.
