To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The French general was putting thefinishing touch to his expedition by completing the conflagration atDunkerk, and was moving homeward, when he became aware of the lion in hispath. Although suffering from severe sickness, he mounted his horse andpersonally conducted his army to Gravelines. Here he found his progresscompletely arrested. On that night, which was the 12th July, he held acouncil of officers. It was determined to refuse the combat offered, and, if possible, to escape at low tide alo...ng the sands toward Calais. The next morning he crossed the river Aa, below Gravelines. Egmont, whowas not the man, on that occasion at least, to build a golden bridge fora flying enemy, crossed the same stream just above the town, and drew uphis whole force in battle array. De Thermes could no longer avoid theconflict thus resolutely forced upon him. Courage was now his only. Counsellor. Being not materially outnumbered by his adversaries, he had, at least, an even chance of cutting his way through all obstacles, and ofsaving his army and his treasure.
