What reading level is Four French Adventurers From the Causes Celebres book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The police of all these governments had to occupy themselves with ' lost Dauphins ' claiming to be the still living Louis the Seventeenth. They began appear- ing here and there in France, and in Italy and Germany and Holland — and even in America. This went on for fifty years and more until, if Louis the Seventeenth really escaped and survived, he must have died of old age.
Numberless pamphlets and books have been published since then about the question, citing all sorts of documents and witnes...ses. At two different times — under the Second Empire and the Third Republic — measurements have been made of the skeleton found in the grave where the boy who really died in the Temple prison was supposed to be buried. All this has led to persevering doubt of the fact that Louis the Seventeenth died in 1795, and to more or less well-founded belief in his identity with some one of those who pretended to be the lost Dauphin. The doubt has been strengthened by the behaviour of the two persons most closely concerned— King Louis the Eighteenth and the Dauphin's sister, who 148 FOUR FRENCH ADVENTURERS was released from the Temple prison after the announcement of his death.
