To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A well-directed fire from marks- men, who fired coolly from their well-covered positions, compelled the Albanians to fall back with severe loss. The whole day was consumed in partial and desultory attacks, for the Albanians could not approach near enough to make any general attempt to carry the place by storm. The Turks were at last compelled to commence their retreat to Tripolitza. The Greeks, who had anticipated this movement, hastened to profit by it. They cut off the baggage from the cavalr...y, and hung on the flanks and rear of the infantry for some time. In this affair about five thousand Turks and three thousand Greeks were engaged, and four hundred Turks and one hundred and fifty Greeks were killed. But the victory was so decidedly in favour of the Greeks that the battle of Valtetzi destroyed the military reputation of the Turks in the Morea, and broke the spirit of the garrison of Tripolitza. Soon after the Greeks followed up their success by occupying the rocky eminences called Trikorpha, which overlook Tri- politza, within rifle-shot of the western wall.
