What reading level is The Rise And Expansion of the British Dominion in India book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The last act of Lord Cornwallis before he left India, in 1793, had been to seize all the French settlements ; Ceylon was taken from the Dutch in 1796; and the English now treated any symptom of an understand- ing with France, or even of a leaning in that direc- tion, as a dangerous spark to be at once extinguished. Sir John Shore (Lord Teignmouth), who held the Governor-Generalship ad interim until Lord Mornington arrived in 1798, was a very cautious and over-prudent politician. Being averse, o...n principle, to extending our relations or responsibilities, he refused rather ungener- ously to assist the Nizam when the Marathas attacked him, thereby estranging our principal ally and encourag- ing our principal rivals. When the Nizam, who was very anxious for our alliance, proposed a defensive treaty on the basis of mutual territorial guarantee, the British government drew back, not wishing to defend Hyderabad at the risk of offending the Marathas, who might retaliate by a league with Tippu.
