What reading level is Commodore Paul Jones book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Minister of Marine, M. de Sartine, lent an attentive ear to all of the plans which were pro- posed, and Jones returned to Brest with high hopes that he should be soon employed in an expedition to carry out one or the other of these plans with- ade- quate means to do it well. It is quite likely that the minister was as earnest and honest in his in- tentions as the king in his desire to make use of Jones, but the formal declaration of war rendered it possible to prosecute the enterprises whic...h had been suggested by Jones, if it were thought expedi- ent to attempt them, under the French flag *nd with French officers. As France had only intended to use him under the cover of the American fl°g to harass England before war was declared, and as that could now be done openly under her own flag, they did not see the same necessity for his services as before.
DISAPPOINTMENTS.
129 The matter of finding employment for him was further complicated by the fact that since a state of actual war existed the ministry was besieged with applications from numbers of French officers for command, and the ships which had been proposed for Jones were naturally appropriated to the French themselves.
