What reading level is Pillars of Empire Studies Impressions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

To him it remained, even in 1913, a " centrifugal, not a centri- petal force, " and " the weakest link in the Imperial chain. " What view does he take of it, one wonders, now when he sits side by side with General Smuts in the British War Cabinet ? It has been well said of Milner that for reconstruction he was well fitted, but for reconciliation he was too rigid. Yet in 1904 recon- ciliation was even more needed than reconstruction. It was not his fault that he had none of Rhodes 's easy humani...ty, and indeed no natural gift for popularity. He was the ideal official, and the essence of officialdom is to stand apart from the rest of mankind. He could not help being the Governor among subjects, not the man amongst men ; but though Egypt or a native Indian State might need a Governor, South Africa wanted a man.
Chamberlain' s Imperialism.
During Milner's term of office Mr. Chamberlain, the Colonial Secretarv, visited South Africa. It was the first time that a Colonial Secretary had ever come out to see with his own eyes what was happening in the overseas territories which it was his business to ad- minister.
