What reading level is Modern Italy, 1748-1898 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

In the same year (1850) Count Pietro Di Santarosa, minister of Commerce and Agriculture, being in extremis, asked for the consolations of religion : the ecclesiastics around his death-bed in- sisted that he should first of all signify his disappro- bation of the Siccardi law ; although a highly religious man, Santarosa refused to do so, and was actually denied the last Sacraments, in consequence.
Count Camillo Benso Di Cavour, editor of the Risorginiento, who had already acquired great authorit
...y in the Chamber, was called to fill the post of Santarosa. From being minister of Agricul- ture, he quickly became minister of Finance and was not long in demonstrating his distinct superiority over his colleagues. In the meantime, the Pied- montese government continued to assume a more and more Italian and liberal tendency, whilst the King turned his attention to the army, a work in which he found a valuable coadjutor in General Alfonso la Marmora, now made minister of War.
* * * The glorious spectacle of disciplined freedom which Piedmont now presented to the world, displeased the other Italian princes who drew, so to speak, a kind of sanitary cordon round their states, so that these might not be affected by the contagion of liberalism.
