To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Less influenced by the Jesuits and the Spaniards, and more moderate towards the religious views of others, he was morelikely than his father to listen to the voice of reason. He did so, andultimately restored to Europe the blessing of peace, but not till aftera contest of eleven years waged with sword and pen; not till after hehad experienced the impossibility of resistance, and necessity had laidupon him its stern laws.
Fortune favoured him at the commencement of his reign, and his arms werevi
...ctorious against the Swedes. The latter, under the command of thevictorious Banner, had, after their success at Wittstock, taken up theirwinter quarters in Saxony; and the campaign of 1637 opened with thesiege of Leipzig. The vigorous resistance of the garrison, and theapproach of the Electoral and Imperial armies, saved the town, andBanner, to prevent his communication with the Elbe being cut off, wascompelled to retreat into Torgau. But the superior number of theImperialists drove him even from that quarter; and, surrounded by theenemy, hemmed in by rivers, and suffering from famine, he had no courseopen to him but to attempt a highly dangerous retreat into Pomerania, ofwhich, the boldness and successful issue border upon romance.
