What reading level is The Marquis of Pombal book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

And, as I am informed, that in the schools for primary instruction, it has hitherto been the custom to indulge in the study and practice of captious arguments (a licao de processos litigiosos e sentencas), 281 which only serve to waste time, and to accustom youth to conceit and wranglings, I hereby order that so prejudicial a habit shall be for ever abolished. " Such were the measures by which Pombal strove to pre- pare his country for free government, by diffusing education into the remotest c...orners of the empire. Nor could better means have been devised so to enlighten his countrymen that they might see through the thin veil of policy by which, in the representative system, ambition too frequently seeks to conceal its aims, objects, and ends. We have already alluded to the admission of M. Seabra to a share in the administration in the year 1771, and to the variety of speculations which it occasioned. The sub- sequent fate of this unfortunate man is still often the subject of conversation and argument in Portugal.
