What reading level is Walpole a Study in Politics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was virtually the scheme, though but half-understood at the time, which the Long Parliament adopted after the death of Charles I., and which, in their ' Coxe, 1. 176.
A STUDY IN POLITICS. 29 hands, came to such an ignominious end. It is the committee theory of government, which treats the country as a club or a commercial company, and relies upon what the late Archbishop of York wittily called " the infallibility of the odd man.'' There is no evidence that Walpole was smitten with this theor...y. There is much evidence the other way. It is true that he regarded the support of the House of Commons as the essential of his power. That is proved beyond question by the great event of 1742. The moment he ceased to hold the House of Commons, Walpole resigned his office. But it is equally true that he regarded himself as the ruler, not as the mouthpiece, of the House. It was support he looked for, not guidance.
No one can read his remarkable speech on the motion to repeal the Septennial Act,^ without feeling that this was Walpole's view.
