To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Lord Haversham passionately de- nounced the incredible neglect of the defence of that country, shown by the Government. The Government, he might have added, seemed to think that the Scots might be left to shift for themselves, now that their Legislature was merged in that of England. This is the first glaring instance of the culpable disregard of the interests of Scot- land, by the executive Government, that has so often formed the subject of complaint north of the Tweed. Whilst Parliament was ...busy tampering with the union settlement, the Government allowed the liberties of the country to be placed in jeopardy, with a callousness that looked like studied neglect, f True, they assembled a fleet in an incredibly short time, after the full extent of the plot was made patent to them ; but to depend solely on the chance of a naval engagement with an enemy whose armament was by no means despicable, revealed a singularly- childlike trust in Providence. Well might Marlborough raise his hands in amazement, as he heard the news of the nation's miraculous escape.
