To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
9. The Dutch in the Medway.— The Dutch war went on all the while, with plenty of hard fighting at sea, and no very great success on either side.
Parliament voted money to keep the fleets ready for fighting. After a little time, even the Eoyalists in the House of Commons began to suspect that the King spent some of this money on his own pleasures.
Both in Parliament and out of it they began to grumble, and to say to one another that if Cromwell had been alive things would have been different.
At... last a misfortune came which increased their dis- content. Negotiations were opened at Breda, in Holland, and the terms of peace were almost settled.
Before they were quite settled, Charles took it for granted that there would be no more war, and dis- missed most of the sailors, in order to get for himself the money which would have paid them. The Dutch at once sent their fleet up the Thames, where there was no English fleet to meet them. The 254 OUTLINE OF ENGLISH HISTORY.
Dutch ships sailed up the Medway, burnt three men- of-war, and carried off a fourth.
