This example was given by the University of Michigan Library. It is part of a much longer work, truncations have been indicated here by "[ETC,...]". The example illustrates that the emphasis in "Level 2" texts is, like Level 1, on the descriptive and administrative metadata contained in the <teiHeader> and in conveying the textual object as a series of page images with loosely-encoded dirty OCR (usually not displayed) for searching. However, what makes "Level 2" different is the effort made to facilitate navigation by encoding into the text more granular components such as chapters of a novel, articles of a journal, and their appropriate headings.
The breaking up of each page into a paragraph (<p>) chunk is one of Michigan's local practices used for navigation purposes.

VOLUME II.-DECEMBER, 1864.-No. XII. THE OLD MONARCHIST PARTY OF THE UNITED STATES. LUTHER MARTIN, in his report of the Secret Debates of the Federal Constitutional Convention, gives the following account of the parties which appeared in that memorable body: "There was one party, whose object and wish is to abolish and annihilate all State governments, and bring forward one general government over this extensive continent, of a monarchical nature. * * The second party was not for the abolition of the State governments, nor for the introduction of a monarchical government in any form; but they wish to establish such a system as would give their own States undue power and influence in the government of the other States. "A third party was what I consider truly Federal Republican (or Democratic.) This party was nearly equal in number with the other two." The leader of the monarchical party was Alexander Hamilton. He introduced, for the consideration of the Convention, the draft of a Constitution which elected a President for life, and invested him with the power of appointing the Governors of the States, with a veto 6n the legislative acts of the States, and many other similar powers, which would have made the Federal Government a monarchy in everything but name. This proposition had few advocates in the Convention, and no portion of Hamilton's draft was incorporated in the Constitution finally adopted by the Convention. On this subject Colonel Humphreys wrote to General Washington, on the 20th of January, 1787: "They (the States) have a mortal reluctance to divest themselves of the smallest attribute of independent, separate sovereignties." In every conceivable way did the consolidationists strive to incorporate their principles into the new Constitution, but in every case they were foiled by the vigilant friends of State sovereignty. So averse was the Convention to everything that implied consolidation, that it voted to expunge the words National Government from the Constitution, and insert in its place United States.

Mr. President and fellow-citizens: I have consented, to address you this afternoon with no expectation of influencing the ballot of to-morrow. At this late hour it is to be presumed that every man's mind is made up. I am here to gratify the wish of my friends. I shall speak as though the election had already passed-like a man who believes the fate of his country is sealed beyond the rcach of present, or immediate effort. The die is cast. Today is as thoughl to-morrow's sun had risen and set. If the result is ruin to our country, it is now too late to avert [ETC, ETC, ETC ...] a little longer you will see it buried in the dust.
