To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Having revolted against the Porte, and been menaced by its vengeance, he had accepted the artfully-tendered good offices of the Pasha of Egypt with the Divan, and had linked himself to his for- tunes by engagements which he violated. However, Mehemet Ali's resentment was only a cover for the war, which had a deeper cause. He lusted for Syria as an almost indis))ensable adjunct to Egypt— both with a view to aggrandizement and defence; for the sultan feared and envied him, and Khosrew Pasha, the ...most powerful man in the empire after Mahmoud, and whom Mehemet Ali had supplanted in Egypt, longed for his destruction. Exposed to secret machinations and en- vironed by intrigue, the stroke of a dagger might settle accounts with his glory. This he was well aware of; and the sultan, whose man- dates he received with head inclined to the earth, regarded him as his deadliest enemy. Thus Ibrahim sal down before those walls of Acre, which, had he surmounted them, would have been worth to Napoleon the conquest of Asia and the dominion of the world.
