To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sir Alexander Cochrane, Admiral Cock- burn, and Evans, burning with ambition, had urged General Ross to move on Baltimore. The General was against it, and kindly asked my opinion. I opposed it, not by opinions or argument, but by a simple statement of facts.
" I. We have, by a ruse, induced the enemy to concentrate all his means at Baltimore.
"2. A coup de main like the conflagration of Washington may be effected once during a war, but can rarely be repeated.
" 3. The approach to Baltimore Harb...our will be effectually obstructed. " " Oh, " says the General, "so the Admirals say; but they say that in one hour they would open the passage. " I laughed. **It is easier said than done, you will see, General. " (The passage defied their exertions when tested. ) " 4. Your whole army is a handful of men, and the half of them are sick from dysentery.
" 5. Your success in the attack on Washington is extraordinary, and will have a general effect. Your success on Baltimore would add little to that effect, admitting you were successful, which I again repeat I doubt, while a reverse before Baltimore would restore the Americans' confidence in their i8i4.
