To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Allies, however, still continued to advance from success to success, while the French were but making preparations to repair their first misfortune. Ostend, which had once maintained itself against a besieging army for nearly three years, was surrendered at the end of a siege of a fe\v days to the Dutch, under General Auverquerque.
Menin, which had been skilfully fortified by Vauban, was next attacked ; and while Marlboroagh covered the siege, General Salish conducted the operations against... the city. Shortly after the place was invested, the Duke of Vendome joined the French army, and took the command- in-chief. His forces also were sufficient in number to have contended with the Allies ; but a great part consisting of fresh levies, which could not be depended upon, and the memory of many defeats being fresh in the minds of the whole, he dared not risk a general engagement with a ve- teran army full of success, advantageously posted, and commanded by ihe first general of the age. After a very short but active and vigorous siege, Menin surrendered, and Dendermond and Aeth also underwent the same fate, without the possibility of Vendome affording either of them any efficient aid.
