What reading level is Memoirs of Great Commanders volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The plain facts are it was dan- gerous to refuse Cromwell's offers; it was advantageous to accept them and we find Monk marching into Scotland with the regicide general to oppose the army raised in favour of the young King. Many, it is true, had set him the example of abandoning their ancient loyalty, but the stain was not the less deep upon the name of each.
The advance of Cromwell upon Edinburgh, his difficulties and dangers, and his retreat upon Dunbar have been already noticed. At the battl...e of Dunbar, in which the Royalist forces under Leslie were so disgracefully defeated, Monk distinguished himself by a vigorous and successful charge, and having once unsheathed his sword against the King, GENERAL MONK. 197 Cromwell seems to have trusted him with unlimited con- fidence. Edinburgh was soon taken, and the greater part of the south of Scotland submitted to the English, -while Charles II. Retired to Stirling 1, and endeavoured by persua- sions, concessions, and even hypocrisy, to remove the fanatical disunion of the Scotch, and to raise a sufficient force once more to take the field.
