To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But nature alone has embellished Corsica. Of all the peoples attracted in turn by its beauty or geographical position, not one has left any permanent trace. Nor Romans, nor Goths, nor Arabs, nor Genoese have left any mark of art or civilisation. The great men who have appeared among the Corsicans themselves have all been men of action or combat, — Sampiero, adventurer and warrior ; Paoli, organiser, legislator, and soldier ; and Napoleon, the genius of war^ Not one has been illustrious in scien...ce, literature, or art. The Corsicans are born fighters, and fighters they remain to their last breath. To go a-soldiering is the height of the young Corsican's ambition. When the troops march back from exercise, in the morning, at Ajaccio, they are preceded by crowds of street-boys, carrying sticks over their shoulders in place of guns, keeping step and holding themselves often far more upright than the genuine military article. When a battalion is quartered at a village, the people are only too anxious to give them food and shelter.
