What reading level is Peel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
had created. The surface of his mind was eminently conservative, adamantine in texture, impenetrable, invulnerable ; but its depths were stirred by the volcanic forces of a masculine and unbiassed reason, combined with an unswerving and even passionate regard for the public welfare. Hence he was little qualified by nature to be the leader of the party of resistance. No man could resist up to a certain point more stoutly than he; no politician was ever more ingenious, plausible, and fertile in u...pholding the accom- plished fact. But with Peel resistance always began to end at the point where his mind had ceased to be convinced. He might still fight on for a time on grounds of expediency and opportunism, but it was certain that sooner or later his action would follow his conviction. Intellectual conviction was " the immediate jewel of his soul. " He would not barter it for the plaudits of a party, or for the blandishments of power. He would be minister of England, as he scornfully said on the eve of defeat, "on no servile tenure " ; he would only hold that office "on the condition of being unshackled by any other obligations than those of consulting the public interests and of providing for the public safety.
