To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Before the close of 1791, twenty-four hundred branch societies had been established in diflerent parts of the kingdom, and all were governed from the head-quarters of the club in Paris. From these conditions it is easy to understand how the leaders of the Jacobins brought the As- sembly under their sway and became the mas- ters of France. The opinions and principles of the organization were promulgated by means of its Journal and Almanacs, which were scat- tered everywhere. The time had now com...e for the beginning of a reaction against the revolutionary pro- ceedings of the Convention. It could not be expected that the feudal nobility and power- ful clergy of France would melt away like frost-work on the pane. During the whole of 1790 the ancient nobles continued to emigrate to foreign lands, but they went expecting to return. Scattered as they were, and disor^ ganized and weakened as they were by the shock of revolution, they nevertheless began to form plans to recover their lost inheritance.
