What reading level is The Indian Mutiny of 1857 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Still more than ever John Lawrence adhered to his resolution at all costs to pierce the heart of the enemy's position. He had had too much experience of the Sikhs not to know that their fidelity depended upon success; that it would be dangerous to prolong indefinitely a situa- tion which already was becoming critical. Impressed with these views, he wrote, on the 9th of June, to Edwardes, suggesting the advisabiHty, under certain circumstances, of relinquishing the British hold on Pashawar, and ...with- drawing the British forces across the Indus. Edwardes, Nicholson, and Sydney Cotton replied (June 11) by a joint protest against such a scheme. ' Pashawar/ wrote Edwardes, Ms the anchor of the Panjab, and if you take it the whole ship will drift to sea.' Eight days later Edwardes repeated his objections, supporting them with cogent arguments.
But Sir John would not give way. He regarded Dehli as the decisive point of the scene of action, and argued that the importance of holding Pashawar must yield to the superior necessity of recapturing Dehli.
