To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

That the siege was acquiesced in by the Chinese Govern- ment can scarcely be questioned ; but they thought it was fair war they were waging and not murder they were committing, and from the fact that firing ceased occasionally perhaps only to play with the besieged as cats do with mice it also seems certain that the Government could have put an end to it completely at any moment if it so desired ; and, such being the case, it must be allowed the relief force was right to strain every nerve righ...t to strike terror along the route, while pressing forward to the rescue, nor is it unnatural to expect that fitting punishment would be meted out, once arrived, alike to officials who more or less took active part in the lawless proceeding and to a popu- lation that moved not a finger to prevent it. And yet looking back on it all, and granting tLat fires and plunderings in the capital were mainly the work of soldiers and Boxers, it does seem a pity that the splendid warriors of Chris- tian powers should have made things worse : could not discipline and fine feeling have put an earlier check on the men and placed revenge on a higher plane ?
