What reading level is The Resources of Russia in the Event of a War With France With a Short Descrip book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
77 and perfectly authenticated by the official ac- count of that battle.
The same progress was visible at sea ; for the first regular fleet which Peter had built, and fitted out under his own command, attack- ed a Swedish fleet commanded by vice-admi- ral Ehrenchield ; and, though the Swedes were much older sailors, their metal heavier, and their commander an officer of great skill and experience, they were completely defeat- ed, most of their ships taken, and the admiral himself made prisoner....
Was all this the effect of chance ? Has the art of war, since that time, been less cultivated by the Russians ? Or has their military char- acter degenerated ? Frederick the Great, and the inhabitants of Berlin, who saw the Russian eagles planted on their ramparts, can testify to the contrary. The young tree, planted by the care and genius of Peter, had a soil too congenial and well chosen not to thrive, It has cast a deep root, and is still in its vig- our ; and though the storm may bend it, and the frost may strip it of its leaves, the chilling hand of decay has not yet touched it.
