What reading level is Memoirs of the Empress Josephine book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But just as the expected guests approached the city, a courier at full speed was seen to meet them ; a consultation was apparently held, when those who had anxiously made all these voluntary preparations beheld the First Consul get on horseback, place Josephine's carriage in the centre of a small escort of lancers, and in this guise traverse the streets, with all their decorations, at a gallop. The courier had been ex- pedited from the minister of police with information of a plot to assassinat...e Bonaparte next day on leav- ing Abbeville, at a solitary place about six miles be- yond the town. On this very spot he now halted with his slender cavalcade for about half an hour ; and, after eating some of the famed Abbeville bis- cuits, continued his route. Everywhere in the prin- cipal towns, as Amiens, Dunkirk, Lille, Bruges, Gand, Brussels, Liege, Naumur, Antwerp, &c. , they were received with almost regal honours ; the keys were presented to the First Consul as to the ancient sovereigns; and while he gave directions for im- provements, canals, roads, bridges, Josephine left a remembrance behind of less ostentatious, but, for her, more suitable and hardly less useful benevo- lence.
