To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A writer dealing with such matters as principally occupied Macaulay, has not the privilege of resort to these great poetic inspirations. Yethistory, too, has its generous commonplaces, its plausibilities ofemotion, and no one has ever delighted more than Macaulay did, to appealto the fine truisms that cluster round love of freedom and love ofnative land. The high rhetorical topics of liberty and patriotism arehis readiest instruments for kindling a glowing reflection of thesemagnanimous passion...s in the breasts of his readers. That Englishman ishardly to be envied who can read without a glow such passages as that inthe History, about Turenne being startled by the shout of sternexultation with which his English allies advanced to the combat, andexpressing the delight of a true soldier when he learned that it wasever the fashion of Cromwell's pikemen to rejoice greatly when theybeheld the enemy; while even the banished cavaliers felt an emotion ofnational pride when they saw a brigade of their countrymen, outnumberedby foes and abandoned by friends, drive before it in headlong rout thefinest infantry of Spain, and force a passage into a counterscarp whichhad just been pronounced impregnable by the ablest of the marshals ofFrance.
