What reading level is Memories And Musings book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They had hardly anything in common. Kruger had had no chance in early life of any education worthy of the name ; Rhodes was a son of one of the most celebrated universities in the world and, as we know, never forgot his mother.
But the life and career of the man who was the means of adding to the Empire the vast territory called by his name are so well known that it is unnecessary for me to dwell upon either. I purpose in these Musings simply to put on record a few reflections which may perhaps... serve to show how great were his services, not only to South Africa but to the Empire. And I will sum up these reflections in one short sentence : Rhodes saved South Africa from German domination.
In the early 'eighties, when the idea that the colonies were an excrescence or a necessary evil was not yet extinct, Germany, bent upon the acquirement of foreign possessions, suddenly pounced upon two huge tracts of land in south-west Africa, Damaraland and Great Namaqualand, and annexed them under the name of German South- West Africa.
