To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Finland was now lost; the objects of alliance changed; Russia had nothing more to demand ; France no offers of succour to make which it could be deemed necessary to accept. But the policy of the ruler of France introduced the consideration of another question : to preserve good terms with him, was to avowedly forego all the ad- vantages of commerce, and to cut off at once both the present resources and fu- ture hopes of the country. At the same time heroins ulted the national flag, plun- Sweden.... , 263 dered the ships, treated the seamen as pri- soners, and took forcible possession of Po- merania; next he demanded a body of seamen to equip a fleet at Brest, and seemed to threaten by his haughty con- duct, that he would accept no other than a forced compliance with his wishes on the part of Sweden. War against England had meanwhile been declared ; it was nominal indeed with regard to acts of hostility : the British cruisers returned, in most cases, their cap- tures untouched, and even sent back to their ports the vessels that they had re- taken from the French with a charge only of the usual salvage.
