What reading level is Dundonald book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The expedition, as might have been expected, failed egregiously. On its return the unfortunate Emperor ordered Cochrane to sail with four ships and recover Pernambuco for him. It was easy to give such an order, but as all the foreign seamen, who alone were of the slightest service, had quitted their ships in disgust, it was difficult to execute it ; and the difficulty was increased by a new decision of the prize-tribunal, to the effect that no vessels should be reckoned lawful prize unless capt...ured at a certain dis- tance from the shore. As the squadron was designed to blockade Pernambuco, it was obvious that this rule would prevent it from making any captures at all, and would practically leave the ships of the insurgents free to carry out their intentions unmolested. Once more the Emperor came to the rescue with promises to pay to the squadron the value of all its prizes, whether adjudged good or bad, and therewith Cochrane undertook to conciliate the seamen. The Emperor, however, with the best in- tentions, could not fulfil his promises, and this settle- ment likewise broke down.
