What reading level is William Hickling Prescott book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I read it for the first time, to learn that I was the coadjutor and friend of the great historian Prescott through all his life, that I was his assistant through all his historical work, and, indeed, for these reasons, no American was more worthy of the consideration of the gentlemen in charge of the Spanish archives. It was certainly by no fault of mine that an exaggeration so stupendous had found its way to the Spanish Legation. Somebody had said, what was true, that Prescott was always good ...to me, and that our friendship began when he engaged me as his reader. And, what with translating this simple story, what with people's listening rather carelessly and remembering rather carelessly, by the time my letters were drafted I had become a sort of ' double ' of Mr. Prescott himself. I hope that I shall never hear that I disgraced him." > Actual work upon the Conquest began early in 1839, though not at first with a degree of progress whicli was satisfactory to the investigator. By May, how- ever, he had warmed to his work.
