What reading level is The Life of Nelson the Embodiment of the Sea Power of Great Britain volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Rear-Admiral Man, who had been block- ading Cadiz since his detachment there by Hotham, in October, 1795, was ordered up to the main fleet. Swayed by fears very unlike to Nelson's proud confidence in his admiral and his service, he acted with such precipitation as to leave Gibraltar without filling with provisions, and arrived so destitute that Jervis had to send him back at once, with orders to replenish with stores and then to rejoin without delay. Under the influence of the panic which preva...iled at Gibraltar, Man had also sent such advices to the coast of Portugal as caused the commander- in-chief to fear that expected supplies might be arrested. "Oh, our convoy!" cried Nelson; "Admiral Man, how could you quit Gibraltar?" Yet, as he wrote to Jervis, he had expected some such step, from what he had already seen "under his hand to you. " Thus, for the time at least, there were lost to the British seven of the ships-of- the -line upon which Nelson had reck- oned in his letter to the Duke of Clarence.
