What reading level is Warren Hastings book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hastings was to be the first governor-general.
The ablest of the new councillors was, beyond all doubt, Philip Fran- cis, who, it is claimed by the best authorities, wrote the famous " Ju- nius " letters. Macauluy at this place in the essay interpolates a long but interesting discussion of the authorship of these letters.
With the three new councihors came out the judges of the Supreme Court. The chief-justice was Sir Elijah Impey. He was an old ac- quaintance of Hastings ; and it is probable t...hat the governor-general, if he had searched through all tke inns of court, could not have found an equally serviceable tool.
It is not necessary to allude to the bitter quarrels which took place between Hastings and his supporters on the one side, and Francis and his friends on the other. Hastings was in the minority. The natives soon found it out. Charges against the governor-general began to pour in. Nuncomar saw his opportunity to be avenged upon his old enemy. He made serious charges against Hastings, who was now in a most painful situation, and forced to place his resignation in the hands of a trusty agent in London.
