To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the death of his wife, Flint, who had embraced Catholicism, entered the priesthood and received a small benefice which was supplemented by a pension of 200 francs from the General Assembly of the Clergy. This pension he enjoyed till the Revolution, and he must have died before 1793, for his daughter alone was then arrested as an Englishwoman. She had, it is true, in 1780 married Rivarol and had given birth to a son, but Rivarol had long deserted her, leaving her and her infant in such distre...ss that the Montyon prize, much to his mortification, was awarded in 1788 to a French- woman who had kindly succoured them. Madame Rivarol afterwards tried to maintain herself by transla- tions from the English. Her faithless husband died in Germany as an emigre in 1810, and her son Daniel was now serving till his death in 1810 in the Danish or Russian army. She herself survived till 1821. She is not likely to have been hunted up by any of her fellow-Britons in 1802 or 1814. Nor were political refugees likely to be sought by them, otherwise they might have made numerous ac- quaintances.
