What reading level is The Life of Cavour book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is addressed to D' Azeglio : * I have not spoken to you of Prince Jerome's matrimonial prospects with Princess Clotilde, because it was a secret which should have been revealed only at the last 204 THE LIFE OF CAVOUE moment. I do not know what indiscreet person pub- lished it broadcast, fifteen days too early. ' A connexion which would unite the French imperial family with one of the oldest royal houses in Europe flattered the Emperor's vanity, and it did not require a consummate knowledge o...f the arts of- persuasion to induce his consent. Prince Jerome, too, saw the ad- vantages which his approaching nuptials would confer upon himself. It must be remembered that only the Prince Imperial stood between himself and the throne, and, consequently, such a marriage would considerably strengthen his position and prestige at Court. But it was the very reason which made the project attractive to the Emperor and his cousin that made it so dis- tasteful to Victor Emmanuel. Apart from considera- tions of his beloved daughter's happiness, which of course in this instance carried great weight, he was always at heart a king, with the pride of race, although he was regarded throughout Europe as the champion of the revolutionary cause, and, being the lineal repre- sentative of a long generation of kings and princes, he looked upon a marriage with a Bonaparte as a mes- alliance.
