To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His unvarying cour- tesy, his self-possession, which is rarely disturbed, his willing- ness to listen and his power of attention, his forbearance, his gentleness, and the merciful character of his judgments, are admirable qualities for a judge in a court of last resort, and, although without previous judicial experience, the prediction is confidently made by those who warmly supported him for the place, that he will fully sustain the dignity and purity, as well as ability and learning of the be...nch. His appointment was a distinct triumph for the bar. In his case, which was not one of judicial promotion, professional fitness and legal proficiency, unaided by the arts of the dem- agogue, have won the loftiest honor that can crown the exer- tions, or reward the ambition of the most zealous priest in the temple of Themis. Even in his pleasures, the simplicity of the character of Mr. Shiras is revealed. For nearly forty years he and his father — happily spared to be his companion among the lakes and streams, and renowned for his skill as an angler — have turned from toil with zest to those " recreations of the Con- templative man " so charmingly portrayed by the Sempster of Fleet Street; together they have often proved the pleasures yielded by valleys, woods, and hills, and like true disciples of Isaack Walton well know that " if the angler take fysshe surely thenne, is there noo man merier than he is in his spyryte." In 1857 Mr, Shiras married Miss Kennedy, daughter of THE SbPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES.
