What reading level is Splendid Sins: a Letter Addressed to His Grace the Duke of Wellington book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I will not affirm that circumstances may not occur which would imperatively require the immediate delibera^ tion of the guardians of the State. Critical emer- gencies may doubtless spring, which admit of na legitimate delay. But such conjunctures are rare, and, in a time of profound peace, there is scarce a possibility that they should frequently arise. The inevitable conclusion, therefore, is, that when such 14 confereDces do take place, amidst universal tranquil- lity and quietude, it is the ...result of choice and not of necessity. When, indeed, the veil is occasionally removed, and a portion of cabinet machinery is ex- hibited to public view, it is lamentable to perceive how wantonly the sanctity of the Sabbath is violated, without a plausible pretext for its desecration. I call such an employment of the day a desecration, because I know no difference but what the law hath made, between the discussions of the Cabinet and the debates of Parliament itself. As an example of such a disclosure of the springs of ministerial move- ments, I need only refer your Grace to what I must denominate the disgraceful political squabble which attended the dismissal, some time ago, of a distin- guished member of your Grace's cabinet; when, without the shadow of a necessity, the Sabbath was chosen above all other days to conduct the un- seemly correspondence, and the retirement of Majesty was disturbed by the encroachments of ministerial rivalry.
