To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
E, Austrian proven personal bravery, went into the struggle with army. A despondency and a dread of the worst that never left him. Against his own will he was withdrawn from Italy, where he knew every inch of the ground, to a field where to use his own simile he felt like an ass, and did not even know which way the Elbe flowed. He well knew the evils of the military system of Austria, and had often spoken of them with bitter mockery. He had long utterly refused to accept the command, and had ur...ged the emperor to give it to another. Only after a remarkable interview with the Archduke Albrecht who solemnly adjured him to accept the position as a sacrifice to the imperial house, which could not afford to have one of its own members suffer the odium that would come from defeat had he at last relented. He knew, as he declared a few weeks later, that Austria was playing va banque; that he was staking his own civil and military honor. And to add to his mis- fortunes, he chose as military adviser a man whose repu- tation stood very high, Major General Krismanic, but whose counsels proved most faulty.
