What reading level is The United Service Magazine, volume 95, page 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If London were threatened by bombardment its ransom would clear off all the French Emperor's debts.
These may or may not be the reasons of the threatening attitude of France. It behoves us however to continue on our guard, and to be in such a state of preparation, that with all oiir anxiety for the main- tenance of peace, that peace should not depend on the forbearance of any power upon earth.
The Volunteer movement has probably done more than anything else to maintain our peaceable relations w...ith France. The Commis- sion for National Deiences has likewise perhaps had some influence in the matter, though it is a pity such a length of time should have been sufferec^to elapse ere carrying its suggestions into eflbct.
But it is not only Volunteers, it is' not only fortifications that we want to ensiu'e the safety, to maintain the proud position whidi England is wont to hold amidst the nations ol the world — we want an augmentation of our navy, we want an increase to our r^idar army, for though, as has been observed by one of our first officers of Engineers, that fortifications are very good in their way, it is " men, arms, ammunition, and equipment" that are more essential than any- thing else.
