What reading level is Essays in Military Biography book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Before night the latter slackened perceptibly ; and Duncan, struck by this fact (which he correctly enough, as his letter of that evening proves, ascribed to the enemy's growing short of ammunition), and observing move- ments in the fleet below, once more wrote to Mitchell to urge the Louisiana's being brought into a position to aid at least by her battery in the defence. His request was refused, and when, somewhat later, he communicated the additional news that his suspicions were confirmed by... the enemy's boats fixing white flags in the line of their expected advance, he learnt only from Mitchell's reply that the Louisiana would be ready- by the next evening. Before that evening had arrived the luckless iron-clad was prepared to be blown up by her captain's own orders. Kept so carefully out of harm's way as she had been, the only damage inflicted by her was that caused by the explosion, to the garri- son she had been built to aid.
The anxiety suffered by Duncan and his troops during the early part of the night was enhanced by an increase in the fire of the bomb-vessels which took place when darkness closed, and by their ignorance of what the enemy was doing under cover of Porter's shells ; for, as on the previous night, the promised fire- rafts were not floated down by the flotilla.
