What reading level is The Struggle Between England And France for Supremacy in India the Le Bas Pri book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sahiiji, of whom we have heard before, as having been driven from his throne of Tanjore, by his brother Pratab Sing, now offered the town of Devicottah to the English if they would assist him in the recovery of his throne. The English had for a long time eyed the splendid harbour of Devicottah with envy, and such an opportunity of gaining it as the present was not to be neglected. They failed, in their first expedition, to restore their claimant ; and, in their second expedition, they neglected... Tanjore altogether, and set to work to claim the reward by capturing Devicottah, without the performance of their part of the bargain. Never perhaps has every idea of justice been more completely set aside for in- terest. No sooner had they obtained Devicottah than they willingly undertook to keep Sahiiji in confinement at Madras, provided that Pratab Sing would confirm them in the possession of the town they had captured.
The French had not long to wait. In June 1 748 the siibahdar of the Dekhan died, and the usual struggle amongst the various claimants to the throne began.
