What reading level is Peterborough book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Godolphin's and Bolingbroke's despised, and others so un- like as Pope's, Swift's, Johnson's, Scott's, and Macaulay's found engaging and seductive. On the whole, it would have been better, and especially for the Catalans, if he had never captured Barcelona; it may even be, if he had not relieved it. His conquest of the kingdom of Valencia was like drawing water into a sieve. As Ambassador-Extraordinary in Italy he pursued the same process of doing busily what might as well have been let alone. ...He had the art of dictating to several amanuenses at once, and he practised it at King Victor's Court. Pope was assured by an eye-witness that he was seen walking round a room and instructing nine secretaries at once ; probably, as his friend suggested, half the letters were trivialities ; but the ambassador satisfied himself that he was a man of affairs in dreadful earnest. With Victor, who was a consummate schemer, he doubtless drafted and redrafted the map of Europe to their mutual satis- faction.
