To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Louis blindly endeavored to hush it, but in vain. La- fayette was zealous for freedom, though he did not swerve from his allegiance to his sovereign. He saw that France was not yet ready for a Republic, and that the nearest approximation which she could make, was by a constitutional monarchy, which would bind the king and people together in a united federation. Towards this all his efforts were directed, and, as the year 1790 opened, he caught glimpses of the realiza- tion of this sublime idea.... The King distrusted him, and his associate members were, many of them, jea- lous of his growing popularity ; but, true to himself, he did not pause in his mission. He saw the constitu- tion growing under the hands of the Assembly, while 18 268 LTFE OF GENERAL they were shaking from the state the vipers of cor- ruption which had fastened upon its vitality. The old rubbish of the feudal system, which, for ages, had pe- netrated with decay the national heart, was cleared away, and the King was no longer invested with supreme authority over the population of his realm.
