To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The two hostile armies met between Pegau and Lut- «en; the enemy's army being under the command of the Emperor Napoleon in person. One of the most dread- ful cannonades known in the latter annals of warlike operations took place: it continued from eleven o'clock until ten o'clock in the evening, when night alone put an end to it. During this cannonade, the fire of mus- quetry was nearly uninterruptedly kept up ; and fre- quently the valour of the allied troops proved itself in attacks with the ...bayonet. Seldom or never was there a battle fought with such animosity, or so murderous. The French derived great advantage from position, on the heights near Lutzen, where they had thrown up strong entrenchments, which they defended with a heavy fire of artillery. But the valour of the allied troops drove them back from one position to another: nor were they even to be deterred, when the superior de- fence of the enemy, in his last positions, rendered fre- quent attacks necessary. The result of this warm day was, that the Russian and Prussian troops kept possession of the field of battle during the whole of the night, and caused the enemy a double or treble greater loss than their own.
