To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The triumphs of Warren Hastings were also incomplete. Britain stood alone against the united powers of France, Si)ain and Holland. France was eager for revenge for her expulsion from Canada and India ; Spain was snatching at Gibraltar, where destruction was awaiting her fleet : while Holland was content to make her islands the storehouse for our foes. Our West Indian Islands were ravaged, and our trade in these seas swejit away by the enemy's marine, for the gallant H(j\\e or Rodney had not yet... given our foes their lesson and re-assumed for England the so^-ereignty of the sea. The few slups that- could be spared for the purpose were not sufficient to jirevent English coasts and harbours from being insulted, as privateers hovered about the Channel and made easy prey of passing merchandise. On the Continent dissatisfaction was fast ripening into absolute revolution ; the air was heavy with rumours, and tlie hearts of many failed them for fear. English social feeling was not more re-assuring.
