What reading level is The History of Napoleon the First 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What had he done, in short, the first time that he thought of hereditary power, at the publication of the famous ParallUe entre Cisar^ Cromwell et Bonaparte ?
He had drawn, as it were, almost against themselves, into a conspiracy got up by his agent Harel, unfortunate artbts of intemperate language, but who would have fainted at the sight of a naked sword, and who were not even equal to presenting themselves on the theatre of ^e crime. We must be devoid of all historical penetration not to be s...truck with Bonaparte's innate propensity for these perfidious com- binations, which are so repugnant to all noble and lofty minds. He had a natural taste for craft, which reveaLs itself in all epochs of his career, in small as well as in great things. Whether it be with the Commissioner of the Convention in Corsica, and Bonaparte was not then twenty years old,^ or with the Venetian Republic, with Toussaint Louverture or the king of Spain, with Mourad-Bey or Sir George Rumbold, with the Marquis de Frottd or the Helvetic Republic, with the bookseller Palm or the Due d'Enghien, with Drake or the opposition in the tribunate, we always find him true to himself, — ^always proceeding by traps and secret machinations, and it may be asserted that no one has ever excelled him in the art of laying snares for an enemy, of enticing him step by step towards an abyss into which he wished to precipitate him, and, to use his favourite expression, of ltd/ling him to sleep till the moment of his awakening.
