What reading level is The Growth of British Policy An Historical Essay volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The concert proposed would have the effect of breaking this alliance. It would create hostility between Louis and the Dutch Government, so that when England should think the time come to avenge the bombardment of Sheerness her enemy would not again be aided by France, nay, might perhaps have to meet the attack of France at the same time as that of England.
This actually took place in 1672. It may seem capricious that England should in 1668 combine with the Dutch to check the ambition of Louis X...IV, and four years later combine with Louis XIV to overwhelm the Dutch state. But in a scheme of vengeance upon the Dutch for the affront suffered by England in the Thames in 1667 the former of these two measures has its necessary place as much as the latter. It was necessary to isolate the Dutch before overwhelming them. Not that we are THE FRENCH ASCENDENCY. 163 to attribute to the English Government in general any deeply-laid Macchiavellian design. Temple at least had no ulterior objects, the English Parliament had no ulterior objects.
