What reading level is Essays Historical And Literary volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The letter from Secretary Armstrong to this effect did not reach Jackson. The capture of Washington by the British prevented his receiving orders and left him to act upon his own re sponsibility, a kind of situation from which he was never known to flinch. On September 14 the British advanced against Mobile, but in their attack upon the outwork, Fort Bowyer, they met with a disastrous repulse. They retreated to Pensacola, whither Jackson followed them with three thousand men. On the 7th of Nove...mber he stormed that town. His next move would have been against Fort Barrancas, six miles distant, at the mouth of the harbour.
By capturing this post he would have entrapped the 246 ANDREW JACKSON British fleet and might have compelled it to surrender ; but the enemy forestalled him by blowing up the fort and beating a precipitate retreat. For thus driving the British from Florida, a most necessary and useful act, Jackson was stupidly and maliciously blamed by the Federalist newspapers. After clearing the enemy away frorn this quarter, he found himself free to devote all his energies to the task of defending New Orleans; and there, after an arduous journey, he arrived on the 2d of December.
