To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Defeated at one point, he turned up at another. Creating unexpected diversions, and thus harassing the movements of the British and Spanish troops, was a Digitized by Googk MOVEMENTS OF SOULT 187 policy in which he excelled, and though it has not been possible to leam the subject of the intercepted conununica- tions to which Sir Charles Stuart refers, the acquisition cannot have been unimportant. We find Soult at one time in Estremadura, at another in Andalusia. If he abandons the siege of Cadi...z it is only to reinforce Suchet in the Province of Valencia. Again he is in the Pyrenees, opposing Wellington at all cost, and driven into France, retires into camp at Bayonne to be heard of again later at Orthez. Even the terrible conflict at Toulouse marring the holy stillness of Easter Day, 1814, was not decisive enough in itself as a British victory to have ended the conflict, had not Napoleon^s defeat brought about his abdication and opened the gates of Paris to the allies. The story of Soult in the Peninsula is a story of a man bent on fighting to the last, as keen at a losing game in 1814 as he was in 1809, when he met Sir John Moore at Corunna.
