What reading level is The Life of Napoleon I, Including New Materials From the British Official Records book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nelson was nearing the coast of Portugal, Cornwallis had been so speedily reinforced as to marshal .twenty-eight ships of the line off Brest, while Calder was waiting for Villeneuve off Cape FinisteiTe with a fleet of Ill THE BOULOGNE FLOTILLA 461 fifteen battleships. Thus, when Villeneuve neared the north-west of Spain, his twenty ships of the line were confronted by a force which he could neither overwhelm nor shake off. The combat of July 22nd, fought amidst a dense haze, was unfavourable to... the allies, two Spanish ships of the line striking their colours to Calder before the gathering fog and gloom of night separated the com- batants : on the next two days Villeneuve strove to come to close quarters, but Calder sheered off ; there- upon the French, unable then to make Ferrol,'put into Vigo, while Calder, ignorant of their position, joined Cornwallis off Brest. This retreat of the British admiral subjected him to a court-martial, and consternation reigned in London when Villeneuve was known to be on the Spanish coast unguarded ; but the fear was needless ; though the French admiral succeeded in rallying the Ferrol squadron, yet, as he was ordered to avoid Ferrol, he put into Corunna, and on August 15th he decided to sail for Cadiz.
