To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We have taken a stand among the nations of the earth, and have successfully asserted our claim to political equality. We possess an enviable elevation, so far as concerns the structure of our government, our political policy, and the moral energy of our in- stitutions. If we are not without rivals in these respects, we are scarcely behind any, even in the general estimate of foreign na- tions themselves. But our claims are far more extensive. We assert an equality of voice and vote in the repub...lic of letters, and assume for ourselves the right to decide on the merits of others, as well as to vindicate our own. These are lofty preten- sions, which are never conceded without proofs, and are severely scrutinized, and slowly admitted by the grave judges in the tri- bunal of letters. We have not placed ourselves as hmnble aspir- ants, seeking our way to higher rewards under the guardianship of experienced guides. We ask admission into the temple of fame, as joint heirs of the inheritance, capable in the manhood of our strength of maintaining our title.
