To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the month of June, in the same year, (1476,) he besieged a Swiss garrison at Morat. This place is situated on a lake of the same name, on the south-east side of lake Neuchatel. The town of Morat is fifty-five miles west of Lucerne, and fifteen, nearly, west of Berne. The Swiss who were of the forest cantons, and others still more remote, were disinclined to engage, anew, in this warfare. They regarded it rather as an affair of the canton of Berne, than of themselves. This feeling gave way to... better ones, and a force appeared near Morat, to encoimter the enemy. A body of Austrian cavalry were allied with the Swiss, who advised that a defence should be made of baggage-wagons, and that the attack of the enemy should be Avaited for. But Felix Keller, of Zurich, answered, that the confederates w^ere wont to be beforehand with their enemies. If the words spoken, and the acts done, at this time, have been truly recorded and transmitted, they were, according to one historian, these: "God with us against the world," cried Hallwyl to his followers.
