To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the calculations of our Govern- ment had been formed under too sanguine a view of the circumstances. Thej had not made allowance for the difficulties of procuring and equipping proper vessels for the transport of so large an army; or for those which were to be expected on a voyage in seas which were little known. Thus, Baird, with but two- thirds of his army, only reached the field of action when the result of the campaign was no longer doubtful.
Of the French army, which consisted of not l...ess than 27, 000 soldiers when Sir Ralph Abercromby landed in Egypt, there remained now only the garrison of Alexandria; numerous indeed, but disheartened and out of humour. General Menou had seized, and driven to sea his second in command (Regnier), and some other officers whom he considered to be the leaders of the cabal against his authority ; but much of the sour leaven remained in the mass, though its working was kept out of sight. As far, however, as declarations and outward show could go, it appeared to be the fixed determination of M6nou to defend this last stronghold of Egypt to the utmost extremity.
