What reading level is Life of Napoleon book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
IX.
to treat without making more concessions than had at first been demanded.
Notwithstanding all the fine hopes to which it had given rise, never, probably, was there a negotiation more fallacious and more incomprehensible ihan this. Any one will be con^ vinced of this by examining with a little attention what had preceded it, and what followed.
The grand project of Pitt which had set Europe on fire in 1805, looked, according to the diplomatic notes themselves, at nothing less than the reducti...on of France to the limits of 1792. This was nearly the same as that proposed to me at Chatillon in 1814, when the enemy was at the gates of Paria.
The battles of Ulm and Austeiiitz had undoubtedly defeated this grand project, and changed the state of a&irs on the continent ; but on the other hand the battle of Tra&lgar had placed England in a position relatively as advantageous as before. How then can we believe that the state of uH- possidetis could possibly enter into the head of an English minister, only one year after this famous project which in twenty lines disclosed the entire policy of the cabinet of St James for twenty years ?
