What reading level is Essays On Lord Clive And Warren Hastings book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It had been condemned by Mr. Dundas, who had since become the chief minister of the Crown for Indian affairs. Yet Burke, having chosen this strong ground, had been completely defeated on it. That, having failed here, he should succeed on any point, was generally thought impossible. It was rumored at the clubs and coffee- houses that one or perhaps two more charges would be brought forward; that if, on those charges, the sense of the House of Commons should be against impeachment, the Opposition... would let the matter drop, that Hastings would be immediately raised to the peerage, decorated with the star of the Bath,^ sworn of the privy council,^ and invited to lend the assistance of his talents and experience to the India board. Lord Thurlow, indeed, some months before, had spoken with contempt of the scruples which pre- vented Pitt from calling Hastings to the House of 274 MACAU LAY'S ESSAY Lords; and had even said that, if the Chancellor of the Exchequer was afraid of the Commons, there was nothing to prevent the Keeper of the Great Seal from taking the royal pleasure about a patent of peerage.
