What reading level is Ten Years Near the German Frontier; a Retrospect And a Warning book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I had not, it is true, concealed the truth by diplomatic means, as had Mr. Edward Brandes and Mr. Erik de Scavenius, but I had talked "so much and so ingenu- ously" to the newspapermen, as one of them angrily re- marked, that they were sure a man, hitherto so frank, had nothing to conceal; and yet there had been much concealed ! The Opposition, which would have been pleasantly horrified to discover any evidence of bribery, or, indeed, any evidence of the methods by which our Legation had manage...d its side of the affair (they hoped for the worst), could discover very little; when they called on de Scavenius to show all the incriminating documents in the case, they found there was nothing incriminating, and the documents were the slightest scraps of paper. Knowing how far away our Department of State was, how busy and how undermanned, owing to the attitude which Congress has hitherto assumed towards it, I acted as I thought best as each delicate situation arose, al- ADVOCATES OF TRUTH; AND THE LADIES 275 ways arranging as well as I could not to compromise mj^ Government, and to give it a chance to disavow any action of mine should it be necessary.
