What reading level is Sir Thomas Maitland the Mastery of the Mediterranean book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
' On the general principles that had guided him, he wrote as follows, ' I have always considered the Treaty of Paris as a treaty made between Russia and England for the benefit of the Ionian people, and though, in fact, the other great powers were stiled principals upon the occasion, that in truth they were mere accessories to that treaty.
' The principal upon which I understand the treaty to have been bottomed was the feeling on the one hand that the Emperor Alexander was anxious to repair the... unfortunate state in which he had been in some degree the means of placing them, from the necessity he was under of signing the Treaty of Tilsit, and, on the other, a wish to replace them in the condition in which they stood with regard to their liberty and independence antecedent to that calamitous treaty. If I am correct in this, and if it be true that such was the real object of that treaty, it naturally follows that if we did give to them either a better regulated system of government, or an extension of liberty and security they never before possessed, that we had fulfilled both in the letter and spirit the obli- gation we had entered into with Russia, and that that Court, at least, could not have the smallest pretence for saying that we had stretched the power granted to SIR THOMAS MAITLAND 201 us as a protecting sovereignty under the Treaty of Paris.
