To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mr. Hastings, after giving his reasons for the application of the threelacs of rupees, and for his having for some time concealed the fact, says, "Two thirds of that sum I have raised _by my own credit_, andshall charge it in my official account; _the other third_ I havesupplied from the cash in my hands belonging to the HonorableCompany. "[32] The House will observe, that in November he tells the Directors that heshall charge only _two thirds_ in his official accounts; in thefollowing January ...he charges the _whole_. [33] For the other third, although he admitted that to belong to the Company, we have seen that hetakes a bond to _himself_. It is material that he tells the Company in his letter that these twolacs of rupees were _raised on his credit_. His letter to the Councilsays that they were advanced from his _private cash_. What he raises onhis credit may, on a fair construction, be considered as his own: but inthis, too, he fails; for it is certain he has never transferred thesebonds to any creditor; nor has he stated any sum he has paid, or forwhich he stands indebted, on that account, to any specific person.
