To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As soon as he was announced, and had advanced into the cabinet, the monarch inquired with a smile if he were a relative as well as a namesake of his former minister.
" I ; Sire !" exclaimed the Jesuit, with a reverence so profound that it seemed as though he sought to humble himself to the very earth ; "la kinsman of the minister ! I am, indeed, far from advancing such a claim, being merely the son of a poor peasant of Lower Normandy." Such was the advent of Michel le Tellier at court, where hi...s name was soon to become the watchword of terror and persecution.' In the same year France was visited by a fearful famine. The olive-trees of the south proved barren, the fruit-trees remained leafless, and brought forth no produce, while the corn perished on the ground before the seed had formed. The storehouses throughout the kingdom being exhausted, an effort was made to import grain from the Levant, but the merchant ships were captured by the vessels of the enemy; and while the French army was daily perishing from hunger, the Dutch were vending to the hostile forces without increase of price, every description of provision.
