To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The authorities, from the French War Office downwards, have been uniformly most courteous, and I willingly acknow- ledge that I have been treated with the consideration due to the subject of a friendly Sovereign. Not one of my letters has been left without a reply, and in every instance the reply has been considerate. Nevertheless, whilst fully appreciating the form of these communications, I have, at the same time, had the opportunity of admiring the extreme skill with which the different Fren...ch authorities parried all my attempts to procure, directly or indirectly, anything resembling a written permission to draw. Let me admit at once that in my view the Government of a country has a right to forbid drawing if it pleases. An artist has no property' in the landscapes of a country that he visits — certainly a foreign artist can have no claims whatever. A Frenchman might perhaps think it a hardship not to be permitted to draw the landscapes of his native land. I have always been quite willing to obey any interdiction coming from the higher authorities.
