To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

After Swedish, Russian and Turkish invasions, it was Saxony's turn, and a Saxon king became (1697) head of both nations.
The new ruler was a friend of Russia and from his regime dates Poland's dependence on the Muscovites and her consequent decline. A few years after his death some of the Polish nobles — traditionally a proud, sensitive, independent class — endeavored to throw off the Russian influence. This was the chance Frederick the Great had been aw^aiting. Having previously gained Austria
...'s consent to a partition of Poland, he now, in 1770, made the same proposal to Russia, and two years later effected the first of the famous three dismemberments of the country. Surrounded by the three greatest military monarchies of Europe, nothing could save Poland, and she lost one-fifth of her population, one-fourth of her territory.
The excuse for the second partition was a revolution in Poland, which was made the pretext for Russian intervention. This time (1793) Russia made up for her previous failure to secure an equal third of the spoils and obtained about 250,000 square miles.
