What reading level is Marie Antoinette And the Downfall of Royalty book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
135 Undecided and fickle, Louis XVI. does not even know whether to desire the success or the failure of the Austrian army. He has no plan, no steadiness of purpose. The secret mission he gives to Mallet du Pan is a fresh proof of the irresolution of his charac- ter and his policy. What is it he asks? To have the Powers declare that they are making war against an anti-social faction, and not the French nation ; that they are undei-taking the defence of legitimate gov- ernments and of peoples aga...inst anarchy ; that they will treat only with the King ; that they shall de- mand perfect liberty for him; that they convoke a congress to which the émigrés may be admitted as complainants, and where the general scheme of claims and reclamations shall be negotiated under the aus- pices and the guarantee of the great courts of Europe.
Hesitating between Austria and his own kingdom, the unhappy monarch attempts to continue that equiv- ocal system, that see-saw policy in which he has succeeded so ill, and which constrains him to dissimu- lation, that last resource of the feeble.
