To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The inactivity of Wallenstein was not without a cause. He had never forgiven his formal dismissal from command; and he had long formed the determi- nation of attempting to render himself independent of the emperor, and, by the aid of the Saxons, to raise himself to the throne of Bohemia. Could he have acted sincerely towards the Swedes, it is possible that he might have succeeded in his attempt; but his hatred towards that nation, as well as his peculiar situation with the emperor, rendered his... demeanour vacillating and unequal. He was obliged occasionally to hold out specious promises to them as the allies of Saxony, on whose co-operation he founded his great hopes; but he AXEL COUNT OXENSTIERN. 65 could not prevail upon himself to act in such a manner as to give any assurance of his purposes. Such was his conduct at Munsterberg, some time before he ad- vanced to oppose duke Bernard. At that place he had intrenched himself with 40, 000 men : but on the ap- proach of Thurn and Arnheim with a Swedish and Saxon force of 24, 000, instead of giving them battle he proposed a suspension of arms; and in after-confer- ences endeavoured to make terms for joining his army to theirs, and marching to dethrone the emperor, on condition of being created king of Bohemia.
