What reading level is The Speeches of the Duke of Wellington in Parliament 19 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In all my experience I remember no previous instance of any fort being taken by ships, except two or three years ago, when the fort of St Juan d'Ulloa was captured by the French fleet ; though I believe that something of the sort occurred at the siege of Havana in 1763. This cap- ture of the fortress of St Jean d' Acre is, in my opinion, one of the greatest achievements of modern times, and I give the highest credit to those who have performed that service. It appears that the ships of war enga...ged in the attack were so placed that every shot from their broadsides which missed the wall attacked, en- filaded upon the other wall, or struck it in the rear. The reduc- tion therefore of this place was owing to a most skilful disposition of the fleet in the outset I was greatly surprised at the small number of men who were lost on board the fleet, which I dis- covered was owing to the ships being moored within one-third of the ordinary distance. The guns of the fortress, about 130 in number, were laid for a greater distance, and the consequence was that the 3hot went over the ships.
