To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A new war at the opposite boundaries of the empire, added to the great loss caused by the stagnation of trade, must necessarily lead to new sacrifices, for which even extensive con- quests might not afford a sufficient indemnity. The soundest policy for Russia was peace ; but as matters now stood, this great empire could no longer follow its own policy, but was obliged to make war according to Napoleon's great plan, which was firmly arranged between the two emperors. Accordingly the King of Swe...den, having refused to follow the example of his brother-in- law Alexander, by acting against England, in support of Bonaparte's continental system, war was declared against him by Russia, and soon after by Denmark, and the Russian army under Count Buxhb'vden, entered Swedish Finland at Abberfors with a very superior force. The CHAPTER VII. 1'25 Russian general issued proclamations, very much in the revolutionising spirit of France, inviting the Swedish army not to shed its blood in an unjust cause, but rather to lay down its arms, and return home enriched by Russian generosity.
