To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For this he was made colonel, — and afterwards when Toulon was taken, general of brigade. During 1794, he was made commander in chief of the artillery of the army of Italy, and as such directed the operations which gained to the French Saorgio, the Col du Tende, and the heights of Savona and Vado. Arrived at Paris, he was employed by the Committee of Public Safety to direct the movements of the armies. On the 13th of Vendemiaire, the Convention gave him the command of the troops, when by the ex...cellence of the dispositions he adopted, he caused the Convention to triumph over its enemies, although he had only five or six hundred men to defend that body against all the population of Paris. As to this interest- ing event, I have been informed that the conventionalist army fired ball and grape-shot only, until they were sure of victory, which was the work of a quarter of an hour — and, that immediately afterwards, they fired and continued to do so all the evening and night, blank cartridge only — and that to this was to be attributed the trifling loss sustained by the Parisians, which Napoleon states, in his history, not to have amounted to more than between three and four hundred men in killed and wounded.
