To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I know that in one engage ment an officer of high rank behaved very badly. When Humphreys wrote his report lie denounced him in the strongest lan guage. When the report was made public everything severe had been expunged. On another occasion an officer of high rank dis obeyed him and was immediately superseded. In his published report there was scarcely any, if any, reference to the matter. There could have been no reason for this but mag nanimity, because Humphreys did not fear the face of cla...y, and it is questionable if he- took anything else into account. During what Mr. Swinton styles a " Cam- paign of Manoeuvres, " that is, the operations of the fall or autumn of 1863 and winter of 1863-64, Humphreys must have been bitterly exercised in soul. He always maintained that, during this period he had three or four chances to make a splendid reputation, and that if his plans had been followed Lee would have been severely handled if not utterly de feated. In the first case, Meade listened to bad advice, but finally yielded to the coun sel of Humphreys.
