What reading level is The Life of Arthur Duke of Wellington book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He gave orders that horsemen should ride in loose order, and at a walk. He wrapped the wheels of his guns and carriages in straw, and enjoined perfect silence in the ranks. For a time all went well, and a considerable portion of the army got across unnoticed; but by and by a body of Spanish horsemen chose Retreat from Burgos 155 to dash across the bridge at a gallop, and the noise which they made roused the sleeping garrison. A fire was immediately opened upon the bridge, and all who subsequent...ly traversed it, did so subject to the crash from time to time of round shot among them.
It is not difficult to write all this, it is easy to read it when written, but to get everything ready for such a start at such a time and under such circumstances taxed even Lord Welling- ton's energies to the uttermost. His sick and wounded always gave him great anxiety, and never more so than at the present moment. The thought of leaving them behind was terrible. Let the truth however be told, for no man ever lived who could better afford to be described as he was.
