What reading level is Lord Dorchester book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Unlike so many officers of his day he had never seen America ; nor did he show 148 AN INEFFICIENT MINISTER any measure of anxiety to make up for this dis- advantage by acquainting himself with the peculiar difficulties that country offered to military move- ments. He was haughty, narrow-minded, mean and revengeful to a degree, and "as bellicose in council" said a noted wag, "as pacific in the field. " But he had been a good friend to Wolfe as colonel of his regiment, though rarely favour- ing i...t, as Wolfe's private letters show, with his august presence. He had an old grudge against Carleton for rejecting one of his favourites and no one believed his protestations to the contrary. Fin- ally, he was self-willed in proportion to his ignorance and to his utter unfitness to direct a campaign upon American soil, but unfortunately he had both the confidence and the ear of the king.
Matters, however, went smoothly at first as there was no great occasion for friction. Carleton had urged the inclusion among the supplies sent with the troops to Quebec of a large number of boats in sections for immediate use on Lake Champlain.
