What reading level is Memoirs of the Extraordinary Military Career of John Shipp Late a Lieut in Hi book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Far and wide lay strewed bodies and parts of bodies. Some young women bared their bosoms to the pointed bayonets, calling upon our men either to kill them or return their murdered babes and husbands. One young maiden screamed bitterly for her father, who had been killed ; and her last breath died upon the breeze, for she fell, and expired in the arms of her aged mother.
Having observed that we acted on the defensive only, and seemed rather to sympathize with them in their griefs, the enemy gain...ed confidence, and left their elevated posts with apparent faith. They moved gradually and slowly out, taking with them their little property unmolested. They were pictures of the most abject misery and want. They had not received any pay from their master, the rajah of Nagpore, for the long period of two years, during which they had lived upon the produce of their exactions from the villagers of the surrounding, country. I would venture to say that, out of fifteen hundred people, they had not a hundred rupees amongst them ; but, had they millions, it was guaranteed to them by the word of faith which Britons had never broken in India.
