What reading level is Miscellaneous Essays 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The greatest naval victory ever gained by the English arms was that at Sluys, in 1340, when Philip of France lost thirty thousand men and two hundred and thirty ships of war, in an en- gagement off the Flemish coast with Edward III.,f a triumph greater, though less noticed in history, than either that of Cressy or Poictiers.
When the great Duke of Parma was commis- sioned by Philip 11. of Spain to take steps for the invasion of England, he assembled the forces of the Low Countries at Antwerp ; ...and the Spanish armada, had it proved successful, was to have wailed over that great commander from the banks of the Scheldt to the opposite shore of Essex, at the head of the veterans who had been trained in the Dutch war. In an evil hour, Charles II., bought by French gold and seduced by French mistresses, enter- ed into alliance with Louis XIV. for the co- ercion of Holland ; the Lilies and the Leopards, the navies of France and England, assembled together at Spithead, and made sail for the French coast, while the arpiies of the Grande Monarque advanced across the Rhine into the heart of the United Provinces.
