To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Kaller and his associates probably ob- tained a decree from the court at Vienna, com- manding that no Chassidic or Kabbalistic writings be admitted into Galicia (1785). After the second partition of Poland, denunciations were also leveled against the Chassidim in Russian Poland as dan- gerous to the state. Salman of Liadi was dragged in chains to St. Petersburg. Elijah Wilna Is said to have been the instigator of this charge, too ; indeed, he persecuted the sect as long as he lived. After his d...eath the Chassidim took vengeance upon him by dancing upon his grave, and celebrating the day of his decease as a holiday, with shouting and drunkenness. All efforts made to suppress the Chassidim were in vain, because in a measure they represented a just principle, that of opposing the excesses of Talmudism. Before the end of the eighteenth century they had increased to 100, 000 souls. At the present day they rule in congrega- tions where they were formerly persecuted, and they are spreading on all sides.
