To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The great statesmanwho was at the head of the European coalition smiled inwardly at themisdirected energy of his foe. Lewis had indeed, by his promptitude, gained some advantages on the side of Germany: but those advantageswould avail little if England, inactive and inglorious under foursuccessive Kings, should suddenly resume her old rank in Europe. A fewweeks would suffice for the enterprise on which the fate of the worlddepended; and for a few weeks the United Provinces were in security.
Wil...liam now urged on his preparations with indefatigable activity andwith less secrecy than he had hitherto thought necessary. Assurances ofsupport came pouring in daily from foreign courts. Opposition had becomeextinct at the Hague. It was in vain that Avaux, even at this lastmoment, exerted all his skill to reanimate the faction which hadcontended against three generations of the House of Orange. The chiefsof that faction, indeed, still regarded the Stadtholder with no friendlyfeeling. They had reason to fear that, if he prospered in England, hewould become absolute master of Holland.
