To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The General determined from that day to embark his troops at some one of the Gallician ports and land them in the south of Spain, where their presence might be of more avail than in this ruined north-west comer of the kingdom. — He pushed on: but on every hand his men and the camp followers broke open the wine vaults and provision stores, and came out drunk and wild, so as to fall an easy prey to the frightful weather and the vigilant enemy. Sir J. Moore remained incessantly at the most importa...nt and dangerous post, in the rear.
Here he received information about the ports, and decided to embark from Corunna, after halting at Lugo to restore the discipline of his army, and see whether there was yet a chance of engaging the enemy with advantage. He sent orders to the leading division to wait at Lugo : but General Baird entrusted the despatch to a dragoon, who got drunk and lost it. The consequence was that the van went struggling on when it should have been resting, and had to return to Lugo weary, and with a loss of 400 men by the way.
