What reading level is Heroes of Modern Africa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The squadron went to Algiers and obtained the objects of their mission ; they then proceeded to Tunis and Tripoli, and their demands were allowed. Meanwhile Lord Exmouth had been instructed to claim from Algiers the privilege of selling prizes and refitting privateers in that port, and in doing this he took the opportunity to press the abolition of Christian slavery. But this demand the Dey refused, when Lord Exmouth declared that if he persisted in his refusal he would take the place with fi...ve line-of-battle ships.
On leaving the harbour Lord Exmouth and his retinue were mobbed and in danger of being killed ; Captains Pechell and Warde were dragged off their horses and 164 THE HERO OF ALGIERS marched through the town, their hands tied behind them. However, the Dey promised to send an ambassador to England to treat on these questions, and the fleet retired.
In the English Parliament a member had denounced the terms made with Algiers, because by ransoming the slaves we virtually acknowledged the right of these pirates to enslave and plunder.
