To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
163 theft, swearing, and other vices were wholly sup- pressed; every regiment had its chaplain: morning and evening the men were commanded to form a ring round their several ministers for prayer; schools for teaching the young members of this marvelous community were opened day by day, just as in the reposeful quiet of a country village in Sudermania or Dalarne; and as soon as the brave travelers began to intrench them- selves, the young folks retired to their own most peaceable quarter, their ...own academy of the lines. It is recorded that a cannon-ball one day bounded into the school, and killed two or three young students in a moment. But not a pen shook, nor book dropped, nor cheek flushed or paled, in the school of the Northern heroes. All this reads like an extravagant romance, outraging all probabilities, and provoking the smile of incredulity. But it is honest truth-telling history, never- theless ; though one of history's most marvelous pages. In the mean time, Magdeburg had declared for Gustavus Magdeburg, which presently afterward pur- chased by its sufferings the indignant sympathies of Europe.
