To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
19 There was another office, too, besides the overthrow of its immediate enemies, which the Monitor performed for the Union.
The 15-inch gun in the impregnable Monitor turret, mutters with its deep voice, " hands off," to whatever transatlantic nation might before have meditated an interference in the American War. Before the rapidity of the achievement was comprehended, a squadron of monitors patrolled the Atlantic seaboard, capable of destroying any fleet that might challenge entrance to its ...harbors.
The lesson was not lost upon foreign ministers, who inclined to think twice before encountering this new and terrible engine of defence.
The story of the battle in Hampton Roads created the pro- foundest sensation in the court of every maritime nation. For months, not only the scientific but the popular journals were filled with the discussion of its merits and its meaning; the pro- fessional naval world was profoundly agitated ; Admiralty Boards and Ministers of Marine conned its details ; in fine, Russia and Sweden promptly accepted the Monitor as the solution of the naval problem of the age, and followed the lead of America in re- constructing their navies on that system.
