What reading level is Political Portraits book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Garlands of flowers hid the bareness of the walls, and everywhere the monograms of Napoleon and Alexander were seen interlaced. In this pavilion Napoleon received his august visitor, whom he saw now for the first time, and if he made a speedy con- quest of Alexander, Alexander's pleasant gift of in- timacy set him instantly at his ease. For the first time in his life he was received by an autocrat, whom yesterday he was fighting, without disdain and without rancour. With a single phrase the Tsa...r laid what seemed a solid foundation to their friend- ship. ' I hate the English as much as you do. ' ' Then, ' answered Napoleon, ' peace is made. ' Thereafter followed military reviews and brilliant spectacles. In amoebean strains the two Emperors strove to show which could pay the other the better compliment. When they discussed which Ministers of State should represent them, ' I will be your secretary, ' said Napoleon, ' and you shall be mine. ' Truly, had it not been for the King of Prussia, whom Napoleon rightly detested, and who, lodging in a mill hard by, was admitted now and then, like a poor relation, into the imperial presence, the many confer- ences would have passed without a word of dispute.
