What reading level is Notes of a Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


VI. A vigorous foreign policy means a narrow, rest- less, and blustering foreign policy.
Answer. This is a one - sided, unphilosophical proposition, dictated, I fear, by party spirit, and in respect of the Eastern policy of the Ministry, not at all true. The Ministers behaved with as much firmness and decision as the divided counsels of the country would allow. Q 242 . NOTES OF A LIFE VII. The Ministry staked their cause on a rigorous foreign policy for four reasons : (1) because it distracts t
...he public mind and covers domestic shortcomings ; (2) because questions of foreign policy seem to soar above party and belong to the nation ; (3) because this appeal to natural honour and glory reduces a certain number of the opposition from the ranks of the party to which they naturally belong; (4) because the cry of English greatness creates a presumption of a certain political littleness in the case of those who refuse to be reduced by the cry.
Answer. As a general truth this is quite true. The Conservative party in all countries has been strong on foreign policy, partly for the reasons stated, and partly because the Liberals, preoccupied with domestic quarrels, are apt to overlook it.
