To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The French movement had described, as it were, the curve of a bow of which the enemy formed the string. Giulay had been de- ceived too long to alarm the French during this dangerous operation ; but it is needless to say that they did not reach Milan without encountering him, he having so little space to traverse to bar their progress. The emperor, however, had hoped to escape. Ignorant in his turn of the movements of the foe, he had planned to fur- nish his troops with horses at the Ticino, pos...ting his 1st corps upon the road from Mortara to Novara ; the 8d and 4th corps upon the Piedmontese bank of the Ticino, opposite Magenta ; the 2d corps beyond the Ticino, at Turbigo and Magenta, with the guard as sup- port; and finally, the Piedmontese as a reserve. June 3, the 2d corps (MacMahon's), assisted by a body of light foot from the guard, crossed the Ticino, then a second stream parallel with it, the Naviglio-Grande (Grand Canal), and met with no resistance save at Robecchetto, between Turbigo and Magenta.
