To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He was confronted by a superior force and was un- speakably afraid of being beaten. He insisted then on retreating into the island of Srirangam, so as to put the Cauvery between him and the enemy. This movement was approved by a council of war ; so was Peyton's fhght from the Coromandel Coast in 1746 ; so was to be Clive's hasty proposal not to advance on Plassey in 1757. Law's timidity encouraged the English to a plan which against an active foe might have led to their undoing. They resolved t...o separate their forces, keep part south of the Cauvery under Lawrence, and send the rest under CUve to take post north of the Coleroon, so as to besiege Law in his island. The proposal came from the bold spirit of Chve, and there were not wanting officers who exaggerated Law's capacity and predicted nothing but failure from the scheme.^ The decision was taken on April 15, and that night ^ Chve set out with 400 Europeans, 1200 sepoys, and 3000 horse, ^ and estabhshed himself at Samiaveram. The French had two posts on the north bank of the Coleroon, in the country forts of Lalgudi and Pitchanda.
