What reading level is Samuel Pepys And the Royal Navy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
3 34 SAMUEL PEPYS making up the wasteful effects of war, this appears... To have brought the navy into a state more deplorable in its ships and less relievable from its stores than can be shewn to have happened at the close of the most expenseful war, '^ His indictment is supported by a formidable array of facts and figures, and as Macaulay points out^, is confirmed by a report from an expert of the French Admiralty, so it cannot be dismissed as mere denunciation inspired by a natural prejudice... against the men who had displaced him.
Things were so bad that in 1684 the Commission was revoked, and from this date until his death the office of Lord High Admiral was once more executed by the King, with the advice and assistance of ' his royal brother the Duke of York'^; and on his accession James II became his own Lord High Admiral. The office of Secretary of the Admir- alty was revived, and Pepys was appointed thereto ; and the government of the navy remained in the same hands until the Revolution.
