What reading level is Life of Napoleon Bonaparte: Emperor of France book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Austrian general, after long hesitation, had at length resolved to let a fair field decide once more the fate of Italy. On the evening of the 13th, his whole army mustered in front of Alessandria, hav- ing only the river Bormida between them and the plain of Marengo ; and early in the following morning, they passed the stream at three several points, and ad- vanced towards the French position in as many col- umns.
The Austrians were full 40, 000 strong ; while, in the absence of Dessaix and... the reserve, Napoleon could, at most, oppose to them 20, 000, of whom only 2, 500 were cavalry. He had, however, no hesitation about accepting the battle. His advance, under Gar- danne, occupied the small hamlet of Padre Bona, a lit- tle in front of Marengo. At that village, which over- looks a narrow ravine, the channel of a rivulet, Napo- leon stationed Victor with the main body of his first line the extreme right of it resting on Caste'l Ceriolo, another hamlet almost parallel with Marengo ; Keller- man, with a brigade of cavalry, was posted immedi- ately behind Victor for the protection of his flanks.
