To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
275 Such was the posture of affairs in Ceylon, when a new European power attempted a settlement upon the island.
In 1672, a French fleet of fourteen sail, commanded by the viceroy of Madagascar, M. de la Haye, appeared upon the coast, and, anchoring at Trincomalee, three envoys were despatched to the Candian court. These Singha received with every demonstration of respect ; and hoping that they might become embroiled with the Dutch, and that thus some good might possibly result to himself, per-... mission was granted for the erection of a fort. This they immediately commenced, and De Haye being obliged to depart shortly after for the Coromandel Coast, left a gar'- rison in the fortification, at the same time sending M. de Lanerolle with six attendants to Candy, to assure the king of their intention speedily to return, and of their unalter- able devotion to his service. De Lanerolle, however, was totaUy unfitted for his situation. Thinking it derogatory to the grandeur of his nation to comply with the observ- ances of Singha's court, he madly outraged them *, and, like his Dutch predecessors, was detained a prisoner.
