What reading level is The History of the Paris Commune of 1871 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He instantly sent out to the provinces a despatch containing the good news, and stating that : Du Camp, t. Iii. Pp. 87, et seq.
Third Day: Tuesday, May 23rd, 1871 279 if the struggle was not finished that day there was every like- lihood of it being ended the morrow at latest. Yet at that moment not more than two-fifths of Paris had been conquered — at the same rate of progress it would take at least until Friday to repossess the whole city. Prophecy is a hazardous thing to indulge in publicly ...!
The advance of the Versaillais might have been more rapid than it was. The army possessed all solid and sterling qualities, but it lacked one of the utmost importance to make a campaign short : enterprise. The extreme cautiousness of Thiers and the refusal to court the least risk of a chance defeat, leavened the entire force in Paris, and contributed greatly to the comparative slowness of its action. In some cases barricades defended by a ridiculously small number of federates, kept the attacking party at bay for hours and even a day, when a dash forward would have at once revealed the meagreness of the defence and have secured the positions in a few minutes, and with less loss of life than was actually incurred.
