To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This report, which was the signal for a new organization, was followed by the draught of a decree proposing the reduction of the Intendant^s salary from 12,000 to 8000 francs; the suppression of several places, parti- cularly that of commandant of the police of the Garden; an increa- sed stipend to some of tlie professors; the creation of a chair of na- tural history, &c. &c. The disorders of the revolution beginning at this period, M.de la Billarderie withdrew, from France, and his place of In...tendant was filled by the appointment of M. de St. Pierre, in 1792. St. Pierre undertook the direction of the King's Garden at a difficult conjuncture. That distinguished writer was gifted with eminent talents as a painter of nature, and a master of the milder affec- tions; he knew at once to awaken both the heart and the imagina- tion; but he wanted exact notions in science, and his timid and me- lancholy character deprived him of that knowledge of the world, and that energy of purpose, which are alike requisite for the exer- tion of authority> Nevertheless, he was precisefV the man for the crisis.
