What reading level is Memoirs of Lieutenant General Sir Thomas Picton Including His Correspondence F book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The regulars do not amount to twenty thousand, and as for the militia, they are scarcely worth bringing into the account. If it is intended to carry on the war with a paper force of this kind, you will all very shortly be undeceived. There are independent bands of freebooters who harass the French considerably in several parts of Spain, but they are equally formidable to the Spanish inhabitants, who dread them to the full as much as they do the enemy. And you may depend upon it, the great mass ...of the inhabitants of the neighbour- ing provinces have submitted to the French yoke, and are not disposed to make any further struggle. We are playing, in my opinion, a very losing game in carrying on the war with 32!
THE LIFE OF our own money, at an immense expense, whilst the French army are wholly supported by the re- sources of Spain. This kind of contest cannot last long. Portugal, whatever your wise heads may say to the contrary, is a mere caput mortuum, or a dead weight upon our hands in the contest, and does not supply any force or co-operation of consideration for the 2, 000, 000/.
