What reading level is Historical Papers Upon Men And Events of Rare Interest in the Napoleonic Epoch book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— Several writers, apparently, with the idea of detracting as much as possible from this astonishing victory of Bonaparte's, have greatly reduced the numbers of the Ottoman army at Aboukir, some even to 8, 000 or 9, 000 men.
Not only are they at variance with many of the best and most accurate authorities, who give the numbers as 18, 000 and even more, but a moment's consideration would show that the landing of so small a force as 9, 000 men anywhere in Egypt would simply have been to consign i...t to certain destruction; not only would 9, 000 men have been totally inadequate to invade Egypt, but such an attempt would have argued a want of sense and judgment on the part of both the English and Turkish cabinets, which, fully understanding the difficulties of such an enterprise, did, in fact, assemble 20, 000 men in the Island of Rhodes to undertake it, and actually disembarked 18, 000 of this army with a large train of artillery, which was also to have been reinforced, as we have seen, by 3, 000 Mameluke horsemen, to enable it to take the field in sufficient strength to have a fair chance of success.
