To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
During his command-in-chief of the Austrian ai*my, the following romantic incident occurred.
A young Neapolitan noble, who, by war or gambling, had been reduced to poverty, became anxious to obtain military employment in the service of Austria ; and on being furnished with a letter of introduction to Lacy from another soldier of fortune who served in the army of Ferdinand IV. , he travelled on foot towards Vienna. He reached the Austrian territories almost penniless, and one evening found himse...lf at a poor way-side inn, not far from the capital. In the drinking room he met three officers who were also travelling towards Vienna ; and they, with the frankness of German soldiers, invited the stran- ger to sup with them, and in the course of the evening he told them what were his views and wishes, and that all his hopes depended upon Lacy.
" I regret to say that your plan is a bad one, " said one of the Austrian officers who wore the cross of Mai*ia Theresa ; " we have had a long peace, and so many of our young nobility are crowding to Vienna in search of mili- tary employment, that I fear there is little likelihood of Marshal Lacy being able to befriend a stranger.
