What reading level is Some Reminiscences book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Many, indeed most of the English in the Transvaal, were ruined and, cursing the British Government, left the country. Quite a change came over South Africa. The British were humiliated and despised even in distant Kimberley men went about with heads bowed in shame and the triumphant Dutch throughout the country took up the cry of Africa for the Afrikanders. The Transvaal Boers, held of small account a couple of years back, be- came heroes.
The surrender of that time sowed the seeds of all that ...followed. It gave birth to the ambitious aims that ended in the murder of Bethell and the land-grabbing violation of British territory, pri- vately encouraged by the Transvaal Government and only arrested by the bloodless Warren Expedi- tion of 1885 against the notorious filibusters of Stellaland and Goschen. The Transvaal Govern- ment did not wish to cross swords with the British again at that stage. They had by then other ideas, and, with their diplomatic staff of Hollanders, had grandiose dreams of a united South Africa under the republican flag.
