What reading level is International Law volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

La Salle, sent out by the French government to make a permanent settlement, built a fort in 1685 in a bay called by him that of St Louis, now known as the bay either of Espiritu Santo or of Matagorda : it is not cei-tain which, and it is im- material, they are so near one another. The Indians massacred the garrison in 1689, and the French made no attempt to recover the spot. In 1690 the Spaniards founded a settlement in Espiritu Bay, and from that point eastward to the delta of the Mississippi ...there was on the coast no settlement of either nation, and in the interior the most advanced Spanish and French posts were respectively at Adaes and Natchitoches, nearer to the Mississippi than to Espiritu Bay, until Spain got possession of Louisiana in 1769, under the cession which France had agreed to make in 1762. After certain intermediate transactions Louisiana was transferred to the United States in 1803, and they then claimed that France had never lost the sovereignty of the spot where La Salle had built his post ; that that fort gave to France the coast as far west as the Rio Grande, being the middle distance to the then nearest Spanish settlement on that side ; that the subsequent Spanish settlements, which by 1803 reached in a compact line to Espiritu Bay, were unlawful encroachments ; and that the Rio Grande was therefore the true boundary between the United States and Spain.
