What reading level is The Courtships of Catherine the Great book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In South Russia the doctors were at a loss how to meet it, mistaking it, to begin with, for other diseases. About Christmas it had spread to Moscow. Here, too, the doctors were helpless, and incurred the wrath of the people, who handled them violently, and broke into general rioting. Their icons alone inspired any confidence in the mob, and the Archbishop Ambrosius, who tried to persuade them that reliance on such alone would not save them, was cruelly butchered. The panic made mat- ters worse,... and it was calculated that fifty thousand succumbed in Moscow before the epidemic ceased. The disturbances had been raging furiously for about two months, when 134 The Orlof Ascendancy Gregory Orlof, recalling his old courage, asked, and obtained, the Empress's permission to go to Moscow. She allowed him one hundred thousand roubles for expenses. He met with wonderful success. He took vigorous steps at once : prohibited for the time all assemblies of the inhabitants, visited the afflicted personally, made the doctors and officers attending him burn the clothes of the victims, and finally, when winter's severity began to be felt, had the epidemic under control and all panic allayed.
