To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Surrounded by evil counsellors, he was induced to dissolve the repre- sentative assembly, and to withdraw the charter from Himgary. The Hungarians, imder the leadership of Kossuth, re- volted, and after a noble struggle all but succeeded in acquiring their inde- pendence and their liberty ; but with the aid of Russia he was enabled to crush them. The sujiport of Russia was dearly bought — at the price of national humiliation. In 1851 the Emperor pub- hcly declared himseK an absolute monarch, af...ter having re-conquered, by the vigorous and successful generalship of Radetzky, the revolted provinces of Lombardy and Venetia. The most per- nicious act of his reign has been the Concordat with the Pope, — a hmnilia- tion even greater than his acceptance of Russian aid for the conquest of Hungary, and the evil effects of which have been visible aUke in his foreign and in his domestic policy. In the conduct of the Italian war, forced upon Austria by the ambition of the King of Sardinia, and the still wider and more astutely schemed ambition of the Emperor of the French, the Emperor Francis Joseph has acted with more dignity than in other events of his reign ; aud though success did not attend his efforts to preserve Lombardy, or to repel the unjustifiable interference of a foreign power in a matter that in no FR A 164 FR A •wise concerned it, the governments of Europe, and such of the nations as look upon French militaiy propagaudism uith alarm and distrust, have not been able to withhold their sympathy from the Austrian Emj)eror in the arduous and yet imended struggle for the preserva- tion of his hereditary dominions.
