To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
239 which the sailor enjoys ; but, even after recognis- chap.
ing that physical cause as accounting for some por- ' tion of the difference between the two men, the contrast still keeps its force. For the mind of the soldier is so weighted down by the ceaseless pressure of Method, that he has little enough of ]-esource except what he finds in his valour and discipline : he is patient, and, in some circum- stances, strangely uncomplaining : he is grave, and calm : he has made himself famous in Eu...rope for his power of confronting an enemy's column with what the French used to call his ' terrible ' silence.'* On the other hand, the sailor, thrown suddenly into the midst of new conditions, is full of resource as Crusoe in his island. He does not hold himself at all bound to suffer without com- plaining. He freely tells his sorrows to his offi- cers. His courage is of the kind that enables him, in the midst of slaughter, to go on cheer- fully swearing, and steadily serving his gun — whilst in boarding, or any kind of assault, he finds a maddening joy ; but he would hardly enter into the spirit of an order which called upon him and his mates to stand still in straight lines under fire, keeping silence,and not rushingforward.
