What reading level is The Financial History of the United States, From 1774 to 1789 : Embracing the Period of the American Revolution book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was not until March,^ 1781, that he was assured of the king's good will and of his willingness to grant more aid to the United States. The sum of six million livres was granted, not as a loan, but as a free gift, a part of which was to be employed in making purchases in France, and the rest was to be sent to the United States with the view of re-establishing the credit of the government.
The French Government had evidently learned the slow, wasteful, and inefficient ways of doing business by... com- mittees or boards established by Congress ; and, as the gift was wanted more especially for the army, Washington alone was authorized to draw bills of exchange for it gradually, as the money might be wanted for that pur- pose. This was contrary to the usual mode of drawing them ; and Franklin sought to have them drawn by the treasurer of the United States; but the ministry, with good reason, was inflexible on the point. Franklin, in his philosophic way, adds that there was no room for dis- puting this determination, as every donor has the right of qualifying his gifts with such terms as he thinks proper.* A considerable portion of the gift was to be sent under the direction of Major Jackson, when Franklin, seeing a rapid increase of the engagements of Congress, ordered the money to be stopped in the hands of the bankers.
