To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Greatly overrating his own talents for public affairs, he had come out to Spain impressed with false notions of what was passing in that country, and tenaciously clinging to the pictures of his imagination, resented the intrusion of reason, and petulantly spurned at facts. The defeat of the Conde de Belvedere at Gamonal, a defeat that broke the centre of the Spanish line, uncovered the flank and rear of Caslanos' army, opened a way to Madrid, and rendered the concentration of the British divisi...ons unsafe if not impossible, he curiously called the " unlucky afiair of the 10th at Burgos." After the battle of Tudela he estimated the whole French army on the side of Burgos and Valladolid at eleven thousand men, when they were above one hundred thousand ; and yet, with information so absurdly defective, he was prompt to interfere with, and eager to control, the military operations of the general, which were founded upon the true and acknowledged principles of the art of war.ij: Moore, while anxiously watching the dangerous progress of Sir John Hope, was suddenly assailed by the representations and remonstrances of all these oflTended, mortified, and disappointed persons, and as the ques- tion of retiring was, by the defeat of Tudela, rendered so purely military, and the necessity of it so palpable, the general, although anticipating some expressions of discontent from the Spanish government, was totally unprepared for the torrent of puerile impertinencies with which he was overwhelmed.
