To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The cavalry and beasts of burden led the way, and at some distance behind came Hannibal himself with his infantry. They were now entering the defile which leads up to the main mountain wall of the Alps, the one barrier which still separated Hannibal from the land of his hopes, and the cliffs rose more precipitously above, and the torrent * Polyb. iii. 50,. 51; Livy, xxi. 33.
THE MAIN ASCENT. 179 (the R^clus) foamed more angrily below, as they neared the spot where both would be left behind.^ Ha...rdly were the infantry well entangled in the defile, when the stones which came thundering down from the heights above showed that the barbarians had at length thrown off the mask. The destruction of the whole army seemed imminent ; but Hannibal drew up, or rather drew back, his part of it to an escarpment of white rock,^ which rose in a strong position facing the entrance of the gorge, far enough back, it would seem, to be out of reach of the descending stones, but not so far as that he could not keep the attention of the enemy concentrated on himself.
