What reading level is An Historical Record of the Royal Regiment of Horse Guards Or Oxford Blues It book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
f An order was issued to the Commissary- General of Musters on the 21st of September, 1680, to pass Lieut-Col. Piercy Kirke and his servant, as Capt. -Lieut. Of Lord Oxford's Troop, during his absence as Lieut. -Colonel of Lord Plymouth's Regiment at Tangier. A similar order had been issued in the year 1674 (State Paper Office), to pass the same officer during his absence with the Duke of Monmouth, in France. This gentleman, probably a relation of the Countess of Oxford (whose name was Kirke ),... has been held up to execration by historians, for atrocities said to have been perpe- trated by him, upon the suppression of the Duke of Monmouth 's rebellion, in the West of England, for which, however, if they ever took place, there is strong ground for supposing he ought not to be held responsible, inasmuch as after the battle of Sedgemoor, when some of these enormities are said to have taken place, he was infe- rior in rank not only to Lord Feversham, the Commander, but also to Lord Churchill, and surely dared not have put one of the King's subjects to death without higher authority (well-disciplined as James's army notoriously was).
