To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What- ever was the day, such rare and superficial practice 15 could never have entitled them to the character of soldiers. But the king was invested with the power of calling the militia into actual service on the event or the danger of rebellion or invasion, and in the year 1759 the British islands were seriously threatened by the armaments of 20 France. At this crisis the national spirit most gloriously disproved the charge of effeminacy which, in a popular estimate, had been imputed to the t...imes. A martial enthusiasm seemed to have pervaded the land, and a constitutional army was formed under the command of 25 the nobility and gentry of England. After the naval victory of Sir Edward Hawke (November 20, 1759), the danger no longer subsisted. Yet, instead of disband- ing the first regiments of militia, the remainder was embodied the ensuing year, and public unanimity ap- 30 plauded their illegal continuance in the field till the end of the war. In this new mode of service they were subject, like the regulars, to martial law.
