What reading level is The Life of General Sir Edward Bruce Hamley Kc B Kcmg volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Had the Russians been prepared to meet the descent in force, it can hardly be doubted the attempts must have been a disastrous failure : At night the rain came down in torrents, and the troops DIFFICULTIES OF DISEMBARKATION, 91 on the beach were drenched. Bad as their situation was, I envied it. At eight in the evening I had left the trans- port with another officer in a man-of-war's boat, which, assisted by two others, towed astern a large raft, formed of two clumsy boats boarded over, on whic...h were two guns, with their detachments of artillerymen, and some horses two of my own among them. The swell from the sea was now considerable, and made the towing of the raft a work of great labour. As we approached the shore, a horse swam past us, snorting, and surrounded by phos- phorescent light as he plashed rapidly by. He had gone overboard from a raft which had upset in attempting to land. The surf was dashing very heavily on the sand, though it was too dark to see it. Fires made of broken boats and rafts were lit along the beach, and a voice hailed us authoritatively to put back and not attempt to land, or we should go to pieces.
