To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The decision, rapidity, resource, suc- cess of the whole movement indicate consummate capacity, and stamp William a true king. On the other hand, as Hallam well observes, " England was peculiarly destitute of great men, " * — a sign, we may add, invariably, of a nation's being in a melancholy way. Harold was the best and most capable man of a bad family — (he had good Danish blood through his mother) — but he was no match for the Duke. His own brother Tosti was in arms against him, and the nobi...lity (such as had survived the Danish wars and the decay of their order) seem to have been tardy in rallying round him. In Normandy all was zeal and fire. The great chivalry were everywhere preparing for the highest achievement of the Norman race. The axe rang through their woods, that vessels might be launched ; the fires blazed round their castles, that weapons might be forged ; everywhere in Normandy was heard the gathering of horses, everywhere was seen the glitter of armour and the glow of flags.
