What reading level is Historical Essays : First Series book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The first step was taken by Philip the Fair, the father of the old royal tyranny ; the last step as yet has fallen to the lot of the kindred genius of Louis Napoleon ; — we say the last step as yet, because it is impossible to believe that a voluntary check will be put on a settled scheme which is now all but accomplished. There is no difference in principle between the absorption of Savoy and Nizza and the absorption of Vaud and Neufchatel.
Whatever arguments justify the one would with an equa...lly "irresistible logic" justify the other. We are told that Nizza and Savoy are provinces " essentially French ;" they can be so only in a sense in which Geneva and Lausanne, and yet more Brussels and Saint Heliers, are essentially French also. Those obligations of treaties which guarantee the in- dependence and neutrality of Switzerland are not more sacred than those which guarantee that neutrality of Northern Savoy without which the independence of Switzerland is a name.
That this scheme of aggrandizement, that all schemes of aggrandizement, are solemnly denied, proves about as much as was proved some months ago by the no less solemn denial of all designs upon Savoy.
