To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The war, before the accession of Elector Frederick, had left the country bur- dened with a debt of 2, 559, 000 thalers, which the Parliament tried to meet by a tax of fourteen and a half per cent. , but the Elector reduced it so as to relieve his poor people. In 1772 England paid 900, 000 thalers as compensation, to be divided between the Elector and the country, but the former yielded any claim to it and added 600, 000 thalers out of the moneys paid him as subsidy, so that the treasury was en-... abled to pay off' 1, 500, 000 of the debt. Later there was paid a further sum of 2, 220, 000 thalers, and still later 672, 000 thalers for the people and places on furnishing official proof of special losses. This led to a special mission to England and a long discussion with the money-saving English treasury over the claims for compensation which ran up to millions. The greater part was absolutely rejected, much reduced to a six per cent, basis, and Schlieffen at last forced to accept 41, 820 for the actual outlay of 300, 000 thalers for hospital expenses.
