What reading level is Lives of Indian Officers Illustrative of the History of the Civil And Military book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The mutations of the tem- poral Government were not a matter of much concern to Mr. Martyn, any further than that one ruler might be better dis- posed than another to give a permissive sanction to missionary efforts, and to afford an example in his own person of piety and godly living and respect for the ordinances of religion. As for himself, he had gone out to India to be a chaplain on the Company's establishment, for the performance of the duties of which office he was to receive a thousand ...a year. He had nothing of the missionary about him except the true mis- sionary spirit. He was not his own master; he could not choose the place of his ministrations ; he was under the orders of the Commander-in- Chief ; and was answerable for all his acts to the temporal authorities, as much as if he had been a lieutenant or an assistant-surgeon. There was much, doubt- 1 less, in this irksome to a man of his eager and enthusiastic ' nature. The chains must have pressed heavily upon one who had set David Brainerd before him as his great exemplar, and who had longed to go forth and do likewise.
