What reading level is Footprints of Statesmen During the Eighteenth Century in England book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was certain that he would try to govern by means of the discontented Whigs and Ministers chosen from the Opposition. Who could tell to what confusion such an attempt might lead ? In this confusion lay hope for the Jacobite cause.
It was soon discovered that the caprice of a sovereign was no longer the domin- ant force in politics ; and the personal predilections of the King had to yield to his necessities. These were not im- mediately apparent ; but a very few weeks served to bring them into... strong relief, and to strip the King's mind of all desire to be rid of his father's Minister. It is curious to find Walpole, quite in the old manner, killing two horses in his ride from Chelsea to Richmond in order to be the first to convey to the Prince news of his father's io6 THE INDENTION OF v death. When he asked for instructions, the King told him harshly to go to Chis- wick and take them from Sir Spencer Compton. It was no surprise to Walpole. Compton was a favourite with the new King. For years he had held the office of Treasurer to the Prince of Wales, and also had been elected to the dignified office of Speaker by the House of Commons.
