What reading level is The Life Adventures of Prince Charles Edward Stuart volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One of the French generals when writing to D'Argenson says, " That he (Mr. Sullivan) understood the irregular Art of War better than any other Man in Europe ; nor was his knowledge in the regular much inferior to that of the best General then living. " Not only was O'Sullivan a good soldier, but he is described as " being one of the best bred, genteelest, complaisant, engaging Officer in all the French Troops. " From Charles's letter he appears to have met O'Sullivan in Rome some years before 1...745, and it is evident also that James approved of his son's friendship for the Irish soldier of fortune. Looking to the important position that O'Sullivan held later among the Prince's counsellors, and considering the many aspersions cast upon his conduct at the conclusion of the Highland rising, it is but fair that we should bear in mind the character he held amongst those who had known him previously.
At this most critical period of the Prince's career, it is worthy of notice that nearly all his personal friends and attendants were Irishmen, and it is more than possible that he was, to a great extent, encouraged in his adventurous projects by the advice and approval of some of them ; although one can hardly believe Sempill's statement to the king " that Sir Thomas Sheridan and Kelly had taken advantage of the Prince's ardent and lively temper, and led him into a measure that might prove fatal to the Royal Family and your three kingdoms.
