What reading level is Memoirs of Count Lavalette book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The rage of the Convention necessarily drew to an end.
The government they had established exercised their tyranny on themselves : fear gave birth to despair ; thousands of victims had been butchered under the eyes of the Assembly, which remained insensible, and at last sacrificed the govern- ment to its own safety. But it did not foresee that general contempt would succeed to terror. In vain did the Conven- tion expel and punish such of its members as had bathed themselves in blood — in vain d...id it recall those who had made themselves respected by their courage and humanity.
Hatred and indignation assailed it on all sides ; and such was its situation, that even when adopting an amended course it was surrounded by the distrust of all honourable men, and the clamour and threats of a populace whose perverseness it had itself completed by encouraging outrage.
In the month of Prairial, the Faubourg St. Antoine be- sieged the Assembly, and came to seek for victims in its bosom ; and if the Convention was not forced to submit, it was owing to the heroic resistance of Boissy d'Anglas, whose admirable courage subdued the mob.
