To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At Paris, they were becoming knight-errants against the court alone : knight-errantry was running about the streets. These knights of the people were wandering about in rags, their hands upon the hilt of a sabre or the butt-end of a pistol, questioning their empty pockets or their hollow stomachs. There was too much wine on the table-cloths of Versailles. Not sufficient flour in the bakers’ shops at Paris. Strange circumstances I a melancholy blindness, which now that we are accustomed to the fa...ll of thrones, will excite a smile of pity from political men. Unhappily, Famine, that spectre which sleeps with so much difficulty, but which so easily awakens Famine had descended, pale and agitated, into the streets of Paris. She listens at all the corners of the streets; she recruits her train of vagabonds and male-factors. The men remember those commotions which had cost so much blood; they recall to mind the Bastille : they recollect Foulon, Berthier. and Flesselles; they fear to have the opprobrious name of assassins again attached to them, and they wait.
