To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He harangued them on the wickedness of the crime they were about to commit. It was in vain. In three hours' time the Christian quarter of Damascus was a waving sheet of fire, and the hot blast, fraught with the moans of the tortured and the cries of dying victims, swept over the city like a gust from hell. Abd-el-Kader had soon gathered round him about a thousand of his Algerines, and he rescued large numbers of Christians by conducting them to his house, enclosed in a guard which no Turks coul...d penetrate. When the number grew beyond the room at his disposal, he escorted them all to the citadel and handed them over to the care of the Turkish guard. The advancing Druses were met by Abd-el-Kader and persuaded to turn back. For ten days he continued his work of mercy, on one occasion facing a yelling crowd of Turks sword in hand, backed by his Algerines, and forcing them to withdraw. The European consuls, leaving their houses in flames, fled to him with their families on the first day. The British consul alone, living in the Mohammedan quarter, had thought himself secure.
