To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His experience has taught him how incongruous and absurd is the position of a king in exile, and how futile is the effort to uphold his titular dignity by the mockery of etiquette and ceremony. The contrast between royalty as it is in the person of "Christian II.," and royalty as it seems to be in the eyes of fervent zealots ; between the intrinsic worthless- ness of the object venerated and the immense devotion called forth on its behalf ; is strikingly emphasized by a scene in the French Acad...emy, where, among the prizes distributed, the highest is awarded to an eloquent mono- graph of the siege of Gaeta, published as the composition of the Prince de Eosen, though, in fact, the hand of Me- raut had penned every line. The monarchical coterie, we are told, had profited by the occasion to organize a sort of moral demonstration against the republican govern- ment, under the pretext of applauding the heroic con- duct falsely attributed to the King of Ulyria by the self-effacement of his wife, and grandly chronicled by M6raut in his memorial of the siege.
