To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Upon them chiefly, and not upon England, he depended for knowledge of what was happening ; in Great Britain itself, as well as on the Con- tinent. From ten to twelve weeks was no uncommon length of time for him to be without word from home.
" I never hear from England,'* he wrote to EUiot in the summer of 1804, "but as we manage to get the Paris papers regularly through Spain. From ten days to a fort- night we get them from their date at Paris : therefore we know the very great events which are... passing in Europe — at least as much as the French people ; " a shrewd limita- tion. These, therefore, together with Spanish, Italian, and other sheets, it was Scott's daily task to read aloud to his chief, who found therein not only information but amuse- ment. He insisted also upon hearing the numerous ephem- eral pamphlets, of which the • age was prolific, and which found their way to him. His quickness in detecting the drift of an author was marvellous. Two or three pages of a pamphlet were generally sufficient to put him in com- plete possession of the writer's object, while nothing was too trivial for his attention where there existed a possi- bility of its contributing a clue to the problems of his com- mand.
