To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
St. Louis, like St. Salvador and Olin- da, had been easily won; but here also the people soon began to work for their own deliverance. About fifty Portuguese conspired together to deliver Maran- ham, or perish in the attempt. Their first efforts were successfuh They slew many of their invaders, and but two or three years elapsed before Maranham was evacuated by the Dutch. This occurred on the arrival of strong succours from Portugal.
Many of the misfortunes of this portion of Brazil arose from ...the incompetency of its early governors, several of whom indulged in acts of great tyranny and meanness. From this cause arose a perpetual series of factious appeals and seditions, which exerted a dis- astrous influence on the people and the country. If the Portuguese governors and colonists were agreed in any one thing, it was in enslaving and oppressing the poor Indians, who found no escape from their cruel- ties. Yet here it was that the Jesuits faithfully resisted such oppression ; and Vieyra, one of the most power- ful men known in the history of that order, exerted his splendid talents to preserve the freedom, and promote the civilization, of the unfortunate aboriginals.
