What reading level is The Growth of British Policy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is the com- mencement of what is known as the troubles of the Fronde. Because this movement proved abortive, and ended only in confirming the absolutism founded in France by Richelieu, we are not to conclude that the symptoms which appeared in 1648 were not in the highest degree alarming. Monarchy, which had almost disappeared in England, was now threatened in France also. Mazarin had predicted two years earlier that the English contagion would spread, and already the Parliament of Paris was... emu- lating that of Westminster. Republicanism at the same time was assuming a militant form in the Netherlands, and there seemed reason to think that the ancient Monar- chical system was crumbling away in Western Europe.
These vast perturbations must have pressed more heavily upon Mazarin than upon any other man. In France he already began to feel his authority under- mined, and the conclusion of peace between the Dutch and the Spaniards created a new difficulty for his Govern- ment.
The war in Italy did not prosper with him, nor yet since 1646 the war in the Catholic Low Countries.
