What reading level is Warren Hastings book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The same men who had just denounced the Treaty of Banaras, and inveighed in REVERSAL OF HASTINGS' POLICY. 167 unmeasured terms against the abettors of the Rohilla War, saw no inconsistency in reaping the solid fruits of the bargain they professed to abhor. It was useless for Hastings to bring all the weight of his reasoning and his practical knowledge to bear against measures which tended to upset his best-laid schemes, to destroy his influence with neighbouring princes, and to dishonour him in... the eyes of his own subjects. His opponents, with the reins in their own hands, were in no mood to behave with common fairness, or even with common decency. Hastings and Barwell might plead never so earnestly for delay, for further inquiry, for some deference to their own judgment ; they might record their solemn pro- test against the acts of colleagues whose ignorance was equalled by their self-conceit. But Cla Ber- ing, Monson and Francis paid little heed to arguments which commanded but two votes out of five.
