To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To fight the flagship to a wreck, to be able in such scenes, and in circumstances so unusual, to transfer his flag to an- other portion of the fleet, to use his remaining resources so effectively as to turn probable defeat into one of the most remarkable victories of his age, established his reputation as a naval commander. The inestimable services of Ad- miral Suffren on the coast of India exerted a commanding influence upon naval affairs in those waters, and secured the commendation of France.... Even his English opponents after the war united in recognizing his combinations. The services of Nelson at the Nile, at Trafalgar, and particularly at Cape St. Vincent, have been remembered by a grateful country, and his position as a naval hero recognized by the civilized world. Farragut, in taking the lead of his some- what disordered line at Mobile, and by his passage of Forts St. Philip and Jackson, has placed his name among the great Admirals of the world. Naval history does not fur- nish, however, another instance to equal the overwhelming influence of Perry's services on Lake Erie.
