To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This attempt of Napoleon to formulate international law to suit his convenience in regard to taking prizes was called the ' Continental System '. ^ Great Britain, on the other hand, stoutly maintained against him her right to seize all enemy ships, and all goods belonging to France even though in neutral vessels. The effect of the ' Continental System ' on Europe was very great. Even though Napoleon did not succeed in ruining British trade, the prices of necessaries were sent up on all sides, a...nd Napoleon's determination to enforce his decrees led him into war in every corner of Europe. There were now only two countries in Europe besides Great Britain which were not under Napoleon's in- fluence, viz. Denmark and Portugal, but even these were in a parlous condition. In 1807 the British Government obtained secret information that Napoleon was about to seize the Danish fleet for his own purposes, and with- out waiting for this actually to happen, demanded its surrender. When this was indignantly refused, our fleet bombarded Copenhagen and captured the whole Danish fleet with the exception of one ship which was stranded.
