To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A more notorious case has recently hap- pened at Reggio. A batch of prisoners were there brought to trial for some matter connected with the period of the ill-fated Constitution. They were acquitted ; and the arm of vengeance descended upon the judges. After such an outrage on their part, the entire Court, as if an Augeau stable, was swept clear. Two, I believe — probably the docile minority — had only a nominal deprivation, being classed as dispanilnK, and held qualified for new appointments, ...which, for all I know, they may now have received. But six judges, the o£Pending majority, were mercilessly and absolutely dismissed. How can we be surprised that, with this perfection of discipline, the word of command should even by judges be readily obeyed ? Three of the forty-one prisoners in what I may call the Poerio case were condemned to death — Settembrini, Agresti, and Fauci- tano. Poerio himself was condemned to twenty-four years of irons. I believe the vote on him was as follows : — Three judges for ac- quittal ; two for irons ; three (including the delicate, scrupulous, and impartial mind of Navarro) for death — on that testimony of Jervolino, which I have sufficiently described.
