What reading level is Sir Walter Raleigh book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His temper, courage, and judgment, under provocation which excited the pity and anger of the audience, justified the opinion of Dudley Carleton, who wrote that, " save it went with the hazard of his life, it was the happiest day that ever he spent, " and that " never was a man so hated and so popular in so short a time. " If a careful study of the records suggests the suspicion that Ealeigh did not state all that he knew, that he kept back certain information, which might be adversely interpret...ed, until he found the Court had knowledge which compelled the admission, the supposition cannot justify his condemna- tion on the evidence adduced. There were points in his answers which may have prejudiced his hearers as to his veracity. The standard of veracity was not high in those days in men of Raleigh's calibre. He had at the outset adopted the precedent of denying all knowledge of Cobham's proceedings, and such a denial was not con- sistent with his subsequent admission that he had been offered a bribe for forwarding the peace.
