To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He was enjoined to occupy the rich warehouses of the Hanseatic towns, to seize the merchandise of English origin there, to arrest the English merchants, and to do all this with punctuality, exactness, and probity. It was because Napoleon expected a more rigorous and at the same time honest execution from Marshal Mortier than from any other that he had given him such a commission. He ordered him to take with him into Germany a certain number of seamen, drafted from the Boulogne flotilla, to make... them cruise in vessels at the mouths of the Elbe and Weser, to arm all the passes with cannon, and to sink every suspicious ship that should attempt to force the blockade. Such was the continental blockade by which Napoleon replied Id the blockade upon paper devised by England. But to subject the continent to his policy, it was requisite that Napoleon should push the war further than he had done. Austria was six months before in his mighty hands, and might be so again whenever he pleased. Prussia was there at that moment.
