To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
energies of France were paralysed by the rebellion known as the Fronde, which broke out before the Peace of Westphalia was signed, and which was a fortuitous com- bination of the Parlement of Paris, the nobility, and the mob of the . capital masquerading as a constitutional movement, in opposition to Mazarin. § 2. Causes Mazarin, though as skilled and as successful a diploma- tist as his master Richelieu, was a man of a very different stamp. He was a true Italian in his subtlety and love of int...rigue, but he possessed none of Richelieu's in- trepidity, decision, and force of character. Consequently, in face of opposition at home, he intrigued and hesitated, alternately stern and yielding, where his predecessor would have acted with relentless severity. Still, it may be doubted whether Richelieu, placed in Mazarin's situation, would have been more successful. He had been able to rely throughout upon the steady support of the king, whose authority was undoubted. Mazarin succeeded to a heritage of accumulated animosity against ministerial irresponsibility, and to a disorganized and bankrupt treasury.
