To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Jean Bart, with six vessels and two armed store-ships, had gone to meet a Danish and Swedish merchant-fleet which was bringing corn from the Baltic to France, where the scarcity still continued.
174 LOUIS XIV. 1694.
When he encountered the fleet, between the Mense and the Texel, it had just fallen into the hands of eight Dutch vessels superior in force to the vessels of the French squadron. Jean Bart instantly ordered a general boarding, took three of the enemy's vessels, put the others to flig...ht, and brought without loss into our ports the hundred ships loaded with grain (July 29). Duguai-Trouin, still more precocious than Tourville had been, equalled, at twenty-one, the first of those French seamen whose names had become as ter- rible to the imagination of peoples as the names of the old Sea- King*. With a frigate of thirty guns he had taken two English ships of equal force ; he was surrounded by six English ships of the line ; wounded and taken after a prodigious struggle, he escaped in a bark, as Jean Bart and Forbin had formerly done, returned to take command of a ship of forty-eight guns, attacked two Eng- lish ships of fifty and thirty-eight guns at the same time, and cap- tured both.
