To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The good effects of Marlborough's victory were not confined to the present scene. The French had, for many years, not sustained any considerable de- feat. They looked upon themselves, therefore, almost as invincible, * and other countries had regarded them much in the same manner. This victory, however, broke the charm, and transferred the wreath which fame had wrought for their standard to that of the allies. In France despondency succeeded to presump- tion ; while the other nations of Europe ...reflected on their former alarms witli indignation and shame ? and the King of the Romans became so willing now to share the dangers and honours of the war, that he resorted to Marlborough's camp before Landau, and, assuming the nominal 'command, told the duke and Prince Eugene how happy he was to serve under * After the battle, and when Tallard was in the duke's tent, the marshal is reported to have said, " Your grace has beaten the best troops in the world. " " I hope, " answered the duke, " you except the troops that defeated them ?" This anecdote reminds us of another.
