What reading level is Jeffery Amherst; a Biography book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His demands were indeed surprising for one who had so slight a grievance. First and foremost he asked for a peer- age which should descend to his brother in case he himself had no heirs. Secondly, there must be a compensation equivalent to the loss of his salary as governor of Virginia. The objedtion to a pension seems to have quietly disappeared. As if this were not enough, the General also stipulated that he and his heirs should enjoy the exclusive right of working the coal mines at Louisburg.... This grant would doubtless bring in sufficient funds to enable the pros- pedtive baron to live in a manner befitting his ele- vation. Fourthly and fifthly, Sir JelFery demanded land in America, and pre-eminence among American peers in case the King saw fit to establish such an order.^ This was the modest bill for damages which Amherst presented to the Prime Minister as the grounds of accommodation, and it quite justified Horace Walpole's comment that Sir JefFery, the newest saint in the Martyrology, had adled too little like a saint.^ If the erstwhile Governor of Virginia expedled that all of these preposterous demands would be granted by the frightened Administration, he was quite mis- taken.
