To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" He deplored that the Duchess and himself should differ so much in opinion, but added that he was firmly resolved " never to assist any Jacobite 1 Coxe, " Memoirs of the Duke of Marlborough, " vol. I. , p. 132. I703] THE DUKE AND POLITICS 165 whatsoever, nor any Tory who was in favour of per- secution. " He assured the Duchess that he would do anything in the world to make her mind easy that did not mean, in his judgment, ruin to the Queen. Marl- borough was clearly depressed in the autumn of ...1 703 . He did not think he was adequately supported, in the conduct of the war, by public opinion in England. The attempt of the Duchess to drive him into the camp of the Whigs was not to his mind, even though he was forced to admit that they, far more than the Tories, were in favour of a spirited foreign policy. He was stung, moreover, by the cheap sneers with which he was assailed, in what he called " barbarous lampoons, " which his enemies duly placed under his eye. Beyond all else, he was chagrined by the failure of his attempts to strike a decisive blow against France, and the knowledge that he would have done so on two, if not three, separate occasions that year, and had only been prevented by the folly of the Dutch, reduced him for the moment almost to despair.
