To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His forces, he found, were too much scat- tered ; he was convinced that he was attempting to do too much at once. He recalled, therefore, the armies he had sent into Assam and Arracan; and, concentrating the whole military power of his kingdom, he gave the entire command to Maha Bandoola, whom we have had occasion to OPERATIONS IN THE BURMESE EMPIRE. 25 mention already, and whose reputation, from his partial successes over the British in Chittagong, stood exceedingly high. Bandoola, as we have ...already related, had advanced to Ramoo, where he was probably making preparations for an ex- pedition into Bengal ; and it is not unlikely that he found it exceedingly disagreeable to be awak- ened from his dream of future victory, by being recalled to defend his own country from invasion. His retreat from Ramoo, and subsequent march through Arracan, (which in the midst, as it was, of the rainy season, must have been a peculiarly arduous one,) relieved the inhabitants of Calcutta from considerable anxiety; and, shortly after- wards, enabled our troops in that quarter to ad^ vance with little opposition into the very interior of Arracan, taking possession of the capital itself.
